19.11.2024The day Ukraine's missiles met Putin's doctrine
Morning coverage focused on the government's last-minute fiscal reform negotiations, with PSOE making contradictory promises to coalition partners. The package remained significantly reduced from initial ambitions.

By midday, attention shifted to Ukraine's first use of US-provided ATACMS missiles against Russian territory, followed hours later by Putin's approval of a new doctrine allowing nuclear response to conventional attacks. The timing and sequence of these events dominated coverage.

The afternoon brought two parallel institutional stories: the investigation into Begoña Gómez's finances, with a judge requesting her bank accounts and marriage certificate, and King Felipe's visit to DANA-affected areas in Valencia. The latter highlighted ongoing tensions between regional and national authorities over flood response, with Marlaska defending AEMET while criticizing Mazón's management.

Evening reports revealed new direct contracts by Mazón to Gürtel-linked constructors for DANA repairs.
