The Pope's day in the Spanish capital commenced with the arrival of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, at the Apostolic Nunciature in Madrid. The meeting, held early in the morning, was met with jeers from some gathered outside the building.

Following the private meeting, the Pope will proceed to the Congress of Deputies to deliver a speech, an unprecedented milestone marking the first time a Pontiff addresses Spanish parliamentarians from the official tribune.

The day's agenda continues with a visit to the headquarters of the Spanish Episcopal Conference to meet with the country's bishops. Afterwards, he will have lunch with them at the Nunciature, where time has also been set aside for a meeting with abuse victims.

In the afternoon, Madrileños will have the opportunity to see the Pope tour the city streets in the popemobile. The route will conclude with a prayer at the Almudena Cathedral before the main event of the day: a large gathering at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

This event underscores the significance of the papal visit, which combines institutional and political engagements with moments of pastoral outreach, strengthening the relationship between the Church and the State in Spain.
