04.12.2024The day Barnier met his sunset and Vox broke with PP
The Koldo corruption case intensified as Ábalos agreed to voluntary Supreme Court testimony, while Aldama revealed documents about a €1.9M apartment deal allegedly offered in exchange for contracts.

Vox suspended budget negotiations with PP in all autonomous communities, citing PP's discussions with PSOE on migrant policy distribution, marking a significant shift in right-wing alliance dynamics. Housing crisis coverage dominated morning news, with reports showing 65% of Barcelona tenants spending over 30% of income on rent.

The evening brought major international developments as France's National Assembly passed a no-confidence motion against Barnier's government, supported by both left-wing parties and Le Pen's far-right, ending his three-month tenure - the shortest in the Fifth Republic. This followed previous day's signals of Le Pen's unexpected alignment with the left.
