Pope Leo XIV landed at Madrid-Barajas airport on 6 June 2026, where he was received by King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and made his first papamobile tour through Madrid's streets before 130,000 people. At the Palau Reial he delivered his first speech, calling for an end to divisive narratives and thanking Spain for its commitment to international law.

Middle East armed conflict: Iran attacks US bases and the Pentagon responds with strikes

Iran launched six missiles and four drones toward the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf countries, and seven ballistic missiles against Kuwait and Bahrain, while CENTCOM announced it had shot down four Iranian drones threatening commercial shipping. The Pentagon bombed Iranian coastal surveillance radar installations at Goruk and Qeshm island, and Washington denied the attacks caused casualties or damage to US installations. The conflict, which began on 28 February 2026, has caused a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and significant global increases in oil, gas and fertiliser prices, prompting the Spanish government to approve Royal Decree-Law 7/2026 with measures for the agricultural and fishing sectors.

Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo: risk of unprecedented epidemic

An Ebola outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain, for which no vaccine is available, has caused 82 deaths and 452 confirmed infections in the Democratic Republic of Congo, centred on Mongbwalu (Ituri province), and has spread to the Kivu region and Uganda, where two people have died. The US CDC has warned the outbreak could exceed 20,000 cases in three months if only 20% of those infected are isolated, and estimates the origin dates to late January or mid-February. Violence and population displacement make it difficult to determine the true scale of the outbreak, though 4,800 people are under medical surveillance and a new diagnostic laboratory has been installed in Mongbwalu.

Catalan education sector strike: teachers reject pre-agreement and demand return to negotiating table

Catalonia's education sector held a second general strike with a Barcelona demonstration that unions attributed to 90,000 attendees and the Guàrdia Urbana to 15,200, as teachers rejected a pre-agreement signed by majority unions and the Govern. Key demands include lower pupil-to-teacher ratios, more support staff for inclusive education and a salary increase the collective considers insufficient. ERC demanded the Govern return to the negotiating table with unions, and the UAB recruited volunteer staff to guarantee PAU exam supervision scheduled for 9 June, a measure condemned by the Col·lectius Assemblearis d'Universitats as a violation of the right to strike. The number of pupils with specific educational support needs in Catalonia has tripled in seven years to 387,422 in the 2025-2026 school year.
