02.02.2026The Day of the Feijóo DANA Testimony
The morning of February 2 opened with media consolidation around Carlos Alcaraz’s Australian Open victory, though editorial focus quickly shifted toward institutional accountability. By mid-morning, the narrative was dominated by Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s appearance before the congressional commission investigating the DANA disaster. Outlets tracked his strategy of defending the autonomy of regional president Carlos Mazón while simultaneously diverting critical questioning toward the history of ETA to avoid addressing private communications sent during the crisis.
By early afternoon, a secondary judicial front emerged as editors reported on testimony from socialist officials Antonio Hernando and Santos Cerdán regarding meetings with Leire Díez and the 'saunas' case involving the Prime Minister’s family. Simultaneously, technical scrutiny of the rail network intensified following reports that Brussels had labeled the Madrid-Sevilla line 'obsolete' in 2023. The evening concluded with the government intensifying negotiations to secure a pension increase amid regional polling suggesting a historic decline for the PSOE in Aragón.
