04.06.2025Day Aldama Crashed the Press Conference
Leire Díez's attempt to control the narrative collapsed when Víctor de Aldama physically interrupted her press conference, shouting "sinvergüenza" and threatening consequences for Sánchez. The chaos required businessman Pérez Dolset to physically restrain Aldama, with reports of flying glasses and bottles.

Díez defended herself as an independent journalist working on a book, denying she operated as a PSOE "fontanera." She claimed her UCO recordings were part of her own investigation, stating she worked "in nobody's name." The PSOE later delivered her information to anti-corruption prosecutors.

Coalition partners viewed the spectacle as damaging, with the party attempting damage control while facing voter disaffection concerns. The government faced additional pressure as Sánchez proposed a housing pact to regional presidents and Brussels demanded acceleration of recovery fund spending.

Meanwhile, Més proposed Compromís abandon Sumar's parliamentary group, and Canadian wildfire smoke crossed the Atlantic to Spain.
