30.05.2026The Day the Flag Fell

The Armed Forces Day parade in Vigo, presided over by the King and featuring Princess Leonor's debut, was marred when the national flag fell during hoisting, an incident reported across RTVE and 20minutos. The mishap overshadowed the event, which also lacked air displays due to weather. Politically, the PSOE corruption scandal continued to erode Sánchez's support. The PNV warned Sánchez to 'take the bull by the horns' but denied negotiating a no-confidence motion, while the PP accused the PNV of 'sustaining the mafia' in government. Sumar and left-wing allies demanded the PSOE 'clean house' and take responsibility for corruption cases. Internationally, Trump's Iran policy remained in focus, with reports of his 'patience' for a deal, while the UN faced bankruptcy from US and Chinese payment defaults. The Champions League final, won by PSG on penalties, dominated sports coverage.
