30.04.2026The Day of the Chistorras Confession

The day was dominated by the Koldo trial, where Koldo García admitted that the 'chistorras' were 500-euro bills from the PSOE, contradicting the party's former manager. This confession, covered by multiple outlets, shifted the narrative from Aldama's accusations against Sánchez to concrete evidence of PSOE cash payments. In the morning, Koldo denied receiving 10,000 euros monthly from Aldama and claimed Jésica Rodríguez blackmailed Ábalos. By afternoon, he acknowledged the 'chistorras' were PSOE payments, though he denied Sánchez's involvement. The fiscal general's replacement of the Madrid fiscal who testified against García Ortiz also drew coverage. Trump threatened Spain again over Iran, and the rental decree remained a secondary story.
