23.01.2025The day legislators blocked the pensioners
The political crisis deepened as government coalition partners declared the legislature effectively dead following Junts' rejection of the omnibus decree. The government's attempts to salvage pension increases and transport subsidies dominated morning coverage, while opposition leader Feijóo accused Sánchez of using pensioners as "human shields."

By midday, King Felipe VI's address to new judges, emphasizing ethical conduct, shifted attention briefly to judicial matters. The afternoon brought cultural prominence with Karla Sofía Gascón's historic Oscar nomination and 'Emilia Pérez' leading with 13 nominations.

Evening coverage centered on Trump's Davos appearance, where he demanded NATO members increase defense spending to 5% of GDP and threatened tariffs on companies not manufacturing in the US. The government concluded the day by suggesting splitting the failed omnibus decree into separate measures.
