Because there was a terror attack, and the switch was attributed by many as a reaction to that attack.
Would there have been more news made -- absent the attack -- had the Spanish government stayed in office? Maybe. But not much, I don't think. Perhaps the same amount of attention on either side (opinion journals mostly -- maybe the Nation versus the National Review). I just don't think that most newspapers think that their readers care about it. A story on page A-8.
