13.01.2025Housing battle in urban landscapes
The morning began with coverage of Barcelona's 5-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Saudi Supercopa, quickly overshadowed by political developments. The Supreme Court summoned Attorney General García Ortiz as a suspect in the case of leaked tax information regarding Ayuso's partner, with judges pointing to Moncloa's involvement.

By midday, Sánchez announced comprehensive housing market interventions: tax exemptions for affordable rentals, restrictions on non-EU buyers, and measures targeting tourist apartments. The package emerged as a direct response to PP's housing proposals from the previous day.

Evening coverage revealed eighteen Catalan cities struggling with empty commercial properties, while El Prat airport reported record passenger numbers. The Attorney General investigation expanded, with judges explicitly connecting the information leak to "political motives" and the presidency's involvement.
