10.12.2024The day allies turned electricity into weapons
Morning coverage continued tracking Assad's Moscow exile and the opening of Sednaya prison, with families searching for relatives missing since 2013. The political narrative shifted dramatically by midday when PP, Junts, PNV, and ERC formed an unexpected alliance to push through an electric tax suspension that could save households €1.1 billion.

PSOE and Sumar quickly moved to block this initiative, postponing the committee meeting meant to approve it. The government's reaction highlighted growing tensions with Junts, whose support remains crucial for budget negotiations.

Evening coverage split between the Real Madrid-Atalanta match (2-3) and reports of Israel gaining territory in post-Assad Syria. The Syrian transition coverage maintained prominence throughout the day, with emphasis shifting from celebratory scenes to complex regional power dynamics.
