12.05.2025 ⇢ Day of Russia's Refusal and Feijóo's Strategic Congress Call
⌨Morning coverage focused on the US-China agreement to suspend tariffs for 90 days, with the US reducing duties from 145% to 30% and China from 125% to 10%. This trade détente dominated headlines as newspapers analyzed its implications for Spain.
By midday, attention shifted to PP leader Feijóo's announcement of a party congress for July 5-6, citing concerns about possible snap elections called by Sánchez. This move was widely interpreted as preparation for an electoral campaign.
Internationally, Russia rejected Ukraine's proposed 30-day truce while not ruling out Putin-Zelensky talks in Turkey. This development followed yesterday's conditional acceptance by Zelensky of Putin's initial peace talks proposal.
Other coverage included controversy over leaked WhatsApp messages between PM Sánchez and former minister Ábalos, with the UCO police unit denying responsibility for the leaks. Constitutional Court debates about the transgender law's implementation also featured prominently.
