18.01.2025Day of fallen chairs in snow and boardrooms
The morning began with Netanyahu's cabinet approving the Gaza ceasefire, setting tomorrow for the start of hostage releases. Puigdemont's negotiations in Switzerland gained momentum as PSOE agreed to urgent meetings.

By midday, a major accident at Astún ski station dominated coverage, with initial reports of 30 injured evolving throughout the day to a final count of two 18-year-old women in serious condition and eight minor injuries.

The afternoon witnessed a historic corporate upheaval as Telefónica's board approved Marc Murtra's appointment as president, replacing Álvarez-Pallete in a government-driven change through SEPI. The swift execution of this leadership transition marks a significant shift in Spain's telecommunications landscape, particularly given the concurrent plans for Telefónica to acquire stakes in Indra.
