El Confidencial

Voting for the Ballon d'Or closed today, with fans and media debating who will win football's top individual award. Spanish outlet El Confidencial ran through the leading candidates and confirmed the date of the awards gala. Attention now turns to the ceremony, where the winner will be revealed, with supporters arguing over the merits of the main contenders.

A demonstration has been held in Ceuta calling for regional elections, and the march has highlighted the growing rift between Spain's Popular Party and Vox. Reports from El Confidencial say the protest underscores the political distance between the two right-wing parties over the situation in the North African enclave. The protest has drawn wide attention in Spain, where competition between PP and Vox has become increasingly contentious in regional politics.
