Why these scores (Factual 75 · Objective 90): The article provides accurate details about Javier Catena being named CEO and Santiago Bau leaving, but mentions he left in late 2025, which conflicts with the current date of 2026 mentioned in other articles. The overall facts align with the cross-source consensus except for this inconsistency.
