"The alliance of [Pedro] Sánchez with that extreme left demands sacrifices from the opposition parties," Abascal stated on Monday, emphasizing that Vox maintains the "will" to reach "some understanding that protects the Senate from the agreements that Sánchez has reached with the extreme left." #Vox #PP #Elecciones2026 (translated)

"We tried at all times to reach agreements so that no left-wing votes were lost. From Frente Amplio, that was not wanted. Their decision was to shut themselves off and to pact with the PSOE in the Senate," declared the Secretary of Organization, Pablo Fernández, who assures that what the street is asking for at this moment is "an autonomous left" from the socialists. #Vivienda #CosteDeLaVida #Elecciones2026 (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

In some cases, they were very advanced. For her part, the Secretary General of Podemos, Ione Belarra, lamented to the Broad Front that they preferred to negotiate Senate lists with the PSOE rather than reaching agreements that "in some cases were very advanced" with the purple formation. #AdaColau #FrenteAmplio #Podemos (translated)

Ione Belarra and Irene Montero criticized the Frente Amplio for choosing to ally with the PSOE in the Senate instead of forming alliances with Podemos in various autonomous communities, lamenting the lack of broad agreements for the general elections. #Podemos #FrenteAmplio #EleccionesGenerales (translated)

Pablo Echenique stated that the Broad Front had ordered to break agreements with Podemos that were practically closed in numerous territories and, at the same time, had signed a pact for the Senate with the PSOE, which he linked to rearmament, corruption, and rent-seeking. #FrenteAmplio #Podemos #PSOE (translated)

"The agreements were difficult to achieve not because of the lists, but because we have been having serious discrepancies for years. We are very critical of their way of governing and their closeness to the PSOE." Montero began her speech by saying that she also shares Rufián's apologies this Friday when he apologized for the 'dantesque spectacle' and acknowledged that he had 'failed'. #Podemos #IreneMontero #GabrielRufián (translated)

Pablo Echenique stated that throughout the week the newspapers and television had presented the ballot for Congress from Madrid as the main issue in the negotiations of the left, so that attention would not be paid to what, according to him, was being done with the Senate. He added that in the end everything had come to light. #Política #España #Senado (translated)

Isa Serra denounced what she described as normalized hatred against Irene Montero and Podemos. She also stated that the day before, all agreements had been blocked and questioned how it could later be claimed that those who blocked them wanted to negotiate with someone they considered so miserable. #IreneMontero #Podemos #Política (translated)

"Since the new agreements between Trump and the Russians started, the truth is that Starlink is working quite poorly for us," explains Artem, referring to the deal between the Republican and Vladimir Putin to facilitate the export of Russian diesel. #Ucrania #Trump #Zelenski (translated)

Cristina Buhigas Arizcun wondered how her colleagues would present, as she wrote, the fact that Izquierda Unida had prevented agreements with Podemos in Balearic Islands, Asturias, Cantabria, and other places, and argued that they could blame Podemos for it. #Política #IU #Podemos (translated)

Rufián complicated the situation when he made an agreement with Podemos, but he still has time to rectify it. Ada Colau: "Rufián complicated the situation when he made an agreement with Podemos, but he still has time to rectify it." #Podemos #FrenteAmplio #AcuerdosPolíticos (translated)
