28.06.2025Day Budapest Defied the Ban
The day opened with Spain grappling with its first heat wave of 2025, reaching 44°C and placing 75% of municipalities at health risk. By mid-morning, domestic attention shifted as hundreds of judges and prosecutors demonstrated outside the Supreme Court, protesting political interference and demanding judicial independence. This unprecedented judicial action became a significant national story. However, by early afternoon, Spanish media's focus broadened to an international event: the Budapest Pride march. Reports quickly escalated, with estimates of 35,000, then 100,000 people, defying Viktor Orbán's government and its restrictions on LGBTI rights. This massive demonstration became the dominant story, reflecting strong editorial interest in international human rights. Domestically, the government responded to the ongoing Cerdán corruption case, while President Sánchez was perceived as leveraging his clash with Trump to divert attention and consolidate alliances.
