- Officials said sanctions are being studied under the Democratic Memory Law, which allows fines for exaltation of the dictatorship, and they are assessing potential Penal Code offenses for hate speech or threats; the law contemplates fines between €10,001 and €150,000 for very serious infractions.
- The route ran from the area of Génova, near the PP’s national headquarters, to Ferraz by the PSOE’s HQ on the 20‑N commemorations, and political reactions continued, including calls from PSOE figures for public condemnation of the chants.
