Story gist: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez faced opposition at the Munich Security Conference for rejecting a nuclear shield and a 5% GDP defense spending target.

Left lane softens criticism; right amplifies it; center remains predictive without judgment.

Center outlets used the full official title 🎭🎶XIV CERTAMEN…, promoting the entire contest neutrally.

Story gist: Approximately 5,000 doctors protested in Madrid demanding the resignation of Mónica García and approval of their own Framework Statute.
