22.11.2024The day Aldama's testimony brought medals
Aldama's 116-minute court testimony from the previous day generated waves of political reactions. His claims about direct contact with Sánchez during the mask procurement scandal and allegations of regional corruption quotas within PSOE dominated morning coverage.

By early afternoon, PSOE and government officials announced a joint lawsuit against Aldama for defamation. The story took an unexpected turn when media revealed Interior Minister Marlaska had awarded Aldama a Civil Guard merit medal in 2022, adding complexity to the government's defensive narrative.

Sara Aagesen's appointment as new third vice-president, replacing Teresa Ribera who secured her EU position yesterday, received limited coverage amid the Aldama developments. Evening coverage exposed RTVE's editorial choice to lead with Broncano-Motos entertainment controversy despite the political developments.
