BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Critical framing of Trump: Spanish coverage predominantly portrays the anniversary as a platform for the Trump administration's conservative agenda, with less emphasis on celebratory and ceremonial aspects.

European progressive orientation: marked emphasis on immigration policy, the No Kings movement, and Pope Leo XIV's visit, with limited coverage of conservative American perspectives.

Emphasis on Spanish-American historical ties: multiple outlets highlight Spain's contributions to American independence, a narrative less prominent in coverage from other countries.
