El Debate
SpainEl Debate is a Spanish digital news outlet based in Madrid, publishing in Spanish. Its headlines centre on Spain, followed by the United States, the Southern Cone, Venezuela and Iran; politics makes up about half of the mix, with society, economy and security sharing the rest. Its stance reads as critical of the Spanish government led by Pedro Sánchez and mixed but largely factual toward the United States.
Political leaning and stance
El Debate is consistently critical of the Spanish government under Pedro Sánchez, framing its decisions as failures or betrayals, using ironic language and highlighting scandals, while giving the opposition party Vox prominent and largely unchallenged coverage. The criticism is aimed at the government rather than at Spain itself, and sports and culture items are neutral. The United States is covered in a mixed way: largely factual, with skepticism toward specific Trump policies and neutral or favourable treatment of American business and technology. The outlet has been measured over only a short period, so this is a first reading. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from July 2026 to August 2026.

What El Debate covers
Spain dominates by a wide margin, followed by the United States, the Southern Cone, Venezuela and Iran. Politics accounts for about half of the topic mix, above all governance and diplomacy, so the focus is Spanish domestic politics with a Latin American strand.
