Pedro Sánchez utilized the afternoon to guarantee pension revaluations despite opposition from the PP, while Alberto Núñez Feijóo retaliated by labeling the government’s migration regularizations as electoralism. The evening saw the return of investigative scrutiny into former PM Zapatero’s financial ties to Venezuela, alongside reports on the release of a Spanish-American child detained by ICE in Minnesota, linking back to the ongoing migration crisis under the Trump administration.

By mid-morning, editorial focus shifted abruptly to Pedro Sánchez’s announcement of a ban on social media access for minors under 16. This became the day's dominant narrative, sparking immediate ideological friction between the PSOE and IU over the policy's authorship and attracting a vitriolic response from Elon Musk, who labeled Sánchez a 'tyrant.'
