12.02.2025Day Treasury Found Itself Alone
The Treasury's position on minimum wage taxation faced unprecedented opposition, with PP's Feijóo aligning with Yolanda Díaz against the measure. This unusual alliance dominated morning parliamentary exchanges, where Sánchez attempted to deflect by highlighting the 61% wage increase during his tenure.

By midday, Congress approved pension increases and transport aid with unexpected support from both PP and Junts, while the Supreme Court confirmed Borràs's prison sentence. Russia opened a criminal case against El Mundo journalist Alberto Rojas, and Social Security announced plans to claim retroactive payments from 900,000 self-employed workers.

Evening coverage shifted to Trump's announcement of an agreement with Putin to begin immediate Ukraine peace negotiations, continuing the previous days' pattern of Trump's increasing involvement in international conflicts, from Gaza to Ukraine. US officials suggested Ukraine's pre-2014 borders were unrecoverable.
