28.01.2025The day Sánchez bent for the shield
The Chinese AI DeepSeek dominated morning coverage, causing market tremors in European tech stocks. The Supreme Court confirmed García Ortiz's appointment as Attorney General, one day before his testimony as defendant.

By midday, focus shifted dramatically to negotiations between the government and Junts over the failed omnibus decree. After initial denials of progress from Junts, Sánchez agreed to fragment the decree and debate a confidence vote, securing support for pension increases and social shield measures. The government delayed its ministerial meeting to finalize negotiations.

Evening coverage revealed Treasury findings that former football federation president Rubiales bypassed controls in a €40M Saudi deal. The European Commission responded to DeepSeek's market impact by declaring EU readiness to compete in AI development.
