30.12.2025The Day of the Ábalos Audit Fallout
The morning began with a saturation of reports on Donald Trump’s diplomatic offensive at Mar-a-Lago, where editors across the board prioritized his disarmament ultimatum to Hamas and military threats against Iran’s nuclear program. This international focus was quickly overtaken by domestic developments as Spanish media pivoted toward the judicial and political repercussions of the 'Ábalos case'.
By midday, editorial attention shifted to the PSOE’s internal audit. Progressive outlets highlighted the report’s conclusion that no illegal party financing occurred, while conservative editors fixated on the 'striking' personal expenses uncovered, such as luxury meals and Christmas dinners. Early afternoon headlines focused on the People’s Party’s response, specifically the formal summons of José Luis Ábalos to appear in the Senate on January 8. The evening cycle was dominated by granular details of the audit’s receipts and growing geopolitical concern over Vladimir Putin’s deployment of nuclear-capable missiles to Belarus.
