12.07.2025Tariffs Begin, Rains Engulf
Spanish media on July 12 continued its focus on political pressure surrounding Prime Minister Sánchez, with the alleged links between his father-in-law and brothels debated in parliament, extending the "state sewer" narrative from previous days. Concurrently, severe weather dominated domestic coverage. Early reports highlighted emergency declarations in Aragon due to heavy rains. By midday, the focus shifted to Catalonia, where torrential downpours led to AEMET red alerts and the complete suspension of train services across the region. As the afternoon progressed, a new international development emerged: President Trump's announcement of 30% tariffs on EU imports, set to take effect August 1, which quickly became a leading story. By evening, attention remained on the tariffs and the aftermath of the storms in Catalonia, including the urgent search for two missing persons in Cubelles following the swelling of the Foix river.
