16.12.2024The day Aldama drew screenshots
Media attention focused on Aldama's three-hour Supreme Court testimony, where he provided screenshots as evidence of commission payments to Ábalos and Koldo García. The story evolved from morning anticipation to afternoon revelations about €4 million in alleged commissions and claims about apartments with "señoritas" for PSOE officials.

By early afternoon, the Guardia Civil arrested Aldama's associate and Carmen Pano, who had previously claimed delivering €90,000 to PSOE headquarters. An unpublished photo emerged placing Aldama with Ábalos at PSOE headquarters, adding weight to his accusations.

Meanwhile, Congress lawyers validated Puigdemont's confidence motion terms, while economic coverage noted housing sales reaching 14-year peaks due to mortgage cost reduction. Assad's Moscow appearance and Netanyahu's Golan Heights population plans received secondary coverage.
