02.09.2025 ⇢ The day of Puigdemont's Brussels meeting
⌨The day commenced with continued focus on Prime Minister Sánchez's accusations that judges were "doing politics" in investigations involving his family, a narrative carried over from the previous day and reinforced in early reports. By late morning, a new major domestic story emerged: the government's approval of 83.252 million euros in regional debt forgiveness, despite opposition, which became a significant point of discussion.
However, the most prominent development by afternoon and evening was the first meeting between Catalan President Salvador Illa and Carles Puigdemont in Brussels. This event was widely reported as a pivotal step towards Puigdemont's political rehabilitation and the normalization of institutional relations after the 'procés,' with some outlets describing it as a political "amnesty" or "whitewashing." Concurrently, international news included Russia and China sealing an energy alliance, and later, US President Trump confirming an American attack on a Venezuelan cargo ship that resulted in fatalities.
