The day was dominated by a single story: a leaked Pentagon internal email proposing Spain's suspension from NATO for blocking US bases and airspace during the Iran war. The story broke in the early morning across outlets like El Mundo, El Español, and La Razón, and was quickly picked up by all major media. Prime Minister Sánchez downplayed the threat, insisting Spain is a good ally. By mid-morning, NATO clarified that its founding treaty does not allow expulsion or suspension of a member, a point echoed by El País, El Confidencial, and others. In the afternoon, the US defense secretary escalated rhetoric, stating Europe had benefited from US protection for years and that was over. The government, however, framed the confrontation as an opportunity, with El Mundo reporting that officials saw being targeted by Trump as a political asset. Meanwhile, the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extension was also covered, but the NATO story dominated editorial decisions throughout the day.
⌨
The day was defined by the collapse of US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad.

⌨
The day was dominated by the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The story broke late on April 26 and quickly overtook all other news. Early reports focused on the evacuation of Trump, Melania, and top officials after a shooting in the hotel lobby. By mid-morning, details emerged about the attacker, Cole Allen, a 31-year-old Californian who left a manifesto calling Trump a 'pedophile, rapist, and traitor' and expressing anti-Christian hatred. The incident overshadowed the stalled Iran-US talks in Islamabad, which had been a major story the previous day. Other stories, such as the Gaza flotilla, PP corruption, and the Pope's upcoming visit to Spain, received minimal coverage. The event marked the third attack on Trump in two years, a fact highlighted by multiple outlets.

The day was overwhelmingly dominated by the third assassination attempt on Donald Trump, with Spanish media repeatedly publishing the attacker's manifesto calling Trump a 'pedophile, rapist, traitor' and citing anti-Christian motives. Outlets like RTVE, La Vanguardia, El Mundo, and El Español led with this story, while AI overviews noted the event's dominance over other news. In the morning, the Kitchen trial saw Sáenz de Santamaría and Arenas deny knowledge of the operation to spy on Bárcenas, a story that persisted through the afternoon. The Ábalos corruption case also advanced, with Lieutenant Colonel Balas testifying that Ábalos was central to the criminal network and had access to high-level officials, including Sánchez. By late afternoon, the internal war in Más Madrid between Mónica García and Emilio Delgado over primary rules erupted into public view, covered by El País, El Mundo, and El Confidencial. The day ended with the suspect formally charged with attempting to kill the president, and the White House blaming media and the left for the attack.
⌨
The day was dominated by the defeat of the government's rental decree, which failed to secure support from Junts and PNV, leading to its collapse in Congress. In the morning, Junts maintained its 'no' vote, and by early afternoon the PNV announced abstention, effectively blocking the decree. By evening, the decree was formally rejected, with Yolanda Díaz calling for social mobilization. Meanwhile, new images from the Adamuz train accident reinforced the hypothesis of a rail break, as the CIAF concluded the crash was due to a broken rail. The Pujol trial also saw developments, with the Audiencia Nacional excluding him from the trial due to health reasons, effectively exonerating him after 4,149 days.
⌨
The day was dominated by the corruption testimony of Víctor de Aldama before the Supreme Court, where he placed Pedro Sánchez at the top of an alleged criminal organization within the PSOE. In the morning, Aldama detailed that the party was financed illegally with cash from construction companies, and that Sánchez gave Koldo 'all his transversal power'. By midday, he explicitly named Sánchez as 'number 1' of the organization, with Ábalos as 'number 2', Koldo as 'number 3', and himself as 'number 4'. This overshadowed the rental decree defeat, which continued as a secondary story with the government seeking new formulas after the rejection by PP, Vox, and Junts. Other stories included the European public broadcasters supporting RTVE against a Senate investigation, and the Más Madrid primaries debate.
⌨
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.
