Spain goes to the polls on November 29, Mps heading toward Delfin's yes: two morning premises become facts

Two stories open this morning found a firm point today. In Spain, the parliamentary rejection of the housing decrees — reported this morning as the premise of a possible crisis — has turned into a formal act: Pedro Sánchez has dissolved the Cortes and called Spaniards to the polls for Sunday, November 29. The sequence, reconstructed by Cadena SER and confirmed by El País, shows a direct impact of the parliamentary vote on the executive’s decision. The morning’s assessment — which indicated a government crisis as a plausible scenario — holds fully.

On the Mps front, the hypothesis of Delfin joining Intesa Sanpaolo’s offer, which circulated this morning as a leak, today finds confirmation in its framework: the holding company of the Del Vecchio family, the Monte’s leading private shareholder with 17.6% of the capital, is reportedly leaning toward a yes. It is not yet a done deal — we remain in the realm of financial press sources, not an official statement — but the direction of the operation is becoming more defined.

On the international front, today’s opening update concerns the Kiev affair: the Russian raid during the visit of German Chancellor Merz led Zelensky to state that Washington is working on a trilateral meeting planned for October. The detail of the damaged bridge remains unconfirmed, as flagged this morning: we state this again, because uncertainty is not hidden between one edition and the next. We are also updating the Hormuz affair, with the seven Iranian conditions now made public by Ghalibaf, and the matter of Ukraine’s financing needs, where the figure of an additional 70 billion for 2027 remains single-source information, not independently confirmed.

On Tech & AI, the news is the voice collection feature opened by Anthropic for training Claude, with explicit user consent required.

For the rest, the morning edition remains the reference: Cinema & Entertainment, News, Culture, Italy, Health and Sport have seen no developments warranting a new piece, and remain covered by the articles published at 6:30, still on the page. This is not a gap — it is a day in which two international stories and one financial story produced new facts, the others did not.

This is today’s final edition. The next one comes out tomorrow morning at 6:30.
