El País · January 2026

• frames Maduro as a captured criminal facing justice
• uses distancing language like 'affirms' and 'accused'
• highlights negative consequences of his rule
• quotes opposition figures favorably

Headline 18 about his son is neutral; overall coverage treats Maduro as a deposed leader facing trial, not as a credible source, but avoids outright delegitimizing rhetoric.

• reports on internal opposition and protests
• covers US intervention and its consequences
• quotes multiple Venezuelan actors without clear editorial favor
• uses factual language with occasional evaluative framing

Coverage is broad and includes both critical and neutral reporting on the Venezuelan government and opposition; no consistent positive or negative stance toward the country as a whole. The entity is a country, not a single actor, so stance is inherently mixed.

• reports Spain's diplomatic involvement in Venezuela without evaluative language
• covers domestic political disputes (government vs PP) as normal news
• includes both positive and negative mentions of Spanish officials and institutions
• uses neutral verbs like 'visita', 'llama', 'critica' without consistent slant

Coverage is broad and includes both Spain's foreign policy actions and domestic controversies; no consistent positive or negative editorial stance toward Spain as a country emerges. The entity is a country, not a single actor, so stance is inherently mixed.

• frames Trump as authoritarian or dictatorial
• uses evaluative nouns like 'crackdown', 'cacería', 'abyss'
• portrays Trump's actions as aggressive or irrational
• highlights opposition and resistance to Trump

The outlet's own editorial voice is consistently negative; Trump is rarely quoted without framing that undermines him. Even when reporting his statements, the headlines use verbs like 'confirms' or 'assures' but the surrounding context is critical.

• frames Trump as authoritarian threat
• uses negative evaluative vocabulary ('abyss', 'strangle', 'threats', 'presiones')
• highlights opposition and resistance to Trump policies
• quotes critics and victims of Trump actions

The entity is 'US' but coverage overwhelmingly focuses on Trump administration as the actor, with uniformly negative framing; no positive or neutral coverage of US actions or institutions is present.

• frames Machado as a political actor in competition with Delcy Rodríguez
• uses neutral or factual language for her actions and statements
• occasionally highlights setbacks or controversies (e.g., Nobel medal decision, being relegated by Trump)
• reports her quotes without overt endorsement or skepticism

Coverage is largely factual and balanced, but several headlines note Machado's marginalization or controversy (e.g., handing Nobel medal to Trump, being relegated by Trump), which introduces a subtle critical framing. However, the outlet does not use hostile or delegitimizing language toward her, and her statements are reported directly. The stance is neutral overall, with a slight leaning toward critical distance due to selection of setbacks.

• Quotes Rodríguez as a legitimate decision-maker
• Frames her as a key power broker in post-Maduro transition
• Reports her actions and statements without distancing verbs
• Contrasts her favorably with María Corina Machado

Some headlines report criticism from US officials (e.g., Rubio's threat), but the outlet's own framing treats Rodríguez as a credible, central actor. The entity's quoted content is often assertive, but the outlet amplifies it neutrally or positively.

• frames GL as a victim of Trump's threats
• uses language of defense and solidarity with GL
• quotes European leaders supporting GL's sovereignty
• highlights GL's vulnerability and need for protection

The outlet's stance is positive toward GL as a vulnerable entity deserving protection; the negative framing is directed at Trump, not GL. GL is consistently portrayed as a passive, threatened actor, which generates sympathy rather than agency.

• frames EU as a proactive global actor (trade deals, sanctions, independence from US)
• quotes EU officials authoritatively (Von der Leyen, Albares) without distancing
• occasional critical coverage of EU internal divisions or inaction
• uses positive framing for EU initiatives (e.g., 'fortalece a Europa', 'construyendo juntos el futuro')

Headlines 13 and 15 include criticism of EU inaction, but the overall tone treats the EU as a legitimate, necessary actor; stance is mildly positive rather than neutral because the outlet amplifies EU positions and achievements without systematic skepticism.
