06.08.2025The Bank's British Gambit
Spanish media on August 6th prominently featured the evolving BBVA-Sabadell takeover bid. Early reports noted Sabadell's defensive maneuvers, culminating around midday with shareholders approving the sale of its British unit, TSB, to Santander. This decision significantly complicated BBVA's offer and altered the dynamics of the acquisition. Concurrently, domestic political integrity remained a persistent focus, with new corruption allegations emerging around a Huawei lobby and figures like Koldo and Ábalos, alongside the King Emérito repaying a significant tax debt. This built on previous days' scrutiny of falsified CVs within the PP. Internationally, the Gaza occupation plans continued to receive attention, particularly early on. By afternoon, diplomatic efforts concerning the Ukraine war gained prominence, with a Trump envoy meeting Putin and discussions surrounding potential US sanctions against Russia's trade partners, as well as Trump's willingness to mediate a solution with Putin and Zelenski. The Spanish government also prioritized European defense alternatives over US combat aircraft.
