El País
SpainEl País is a Spanish daily newspaper based in Madrid, founded in 1976 and published in Spanish. Its headlines lean heavily toward the United States, followed by southern Europe, Mexico, Iran, Venezuela and the wider Latin America, with politics and diplomacy dominating and society and security next. Its stance is strongly critical of Donald Trump and the United States under his administration, and neutral toward Spain.
Political leaning and stance
El País is consistently critical of Donald Trump and of the United States under his administration, ranging from skeptical to openly hostile in tone, with the hostile readings concentrated in the early months. The same critical, skeptical line applies to Javier Milei's government in Argentina, to Nicolás Maduro and Venezuela, and to Russia. Mexico and its president Claudia Sheinbaum are treated mostly sympathetically or neutrally, and China, Xi Jinping and the European Union with respect. Spain itself is covered neutrally. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
Who owns El País
El País is owned by the Spanish media group Grupo PRISA. It was founded in Madrid in 1976 by José Ortega Spottorno, Jesús de Polanco and Juan Luis Cebrián, among others.
