20.02.2025 ⇢ Day of Returning Bodies and Fallen Leaders
⌨Hamas's theatrical return of four Israeli hostages' bodies dominated morning coverage, occurring against backdrop of Trump's continued alignment with Putin's positions on Ukraine. The murder of former Gandía mayor Arturo Torró emerged as breaking news.
By midday, three major cases captured media attention: Ábalos faced passport withdrawal in the Koldo corruption investigation, Rubiales received a €10,800 fine for the Hermoso kiss while avoiding coercion charges, and Monedero faced sexual harassment allegations at Complutense University.
