The cover of The Guardian Weekly, the prestigious British progressive newspaper, illustrates an eagle casting its "long shadow" on the Spanish flag. The eagle symbolizes the extreme right, and its shadow, a threat that looms over Spain and Europe. From there, the main report of the weekly focuses precisely on explaining how a government with the presence of the extreme right could be avoided, at least for the moment, when it seemed, according to all the polls, that the PP and Vox would add up to a comfortable majority. .
The main image, accompanied by the headline "A long shadow", has been prepared by Federico Yankelevich, an illustrator based in Madrid, and summarizes, according to the British media, "the anxiety felt by many in the country ”: “The values of the old national Catholic morality loom threatening over Spanish democracy”, points out the illustrator.
In the report, the newspaper's correspondent in Madrid, Sam Jones, explains the complicated panorama that the elections have left behind and how Spanish politics is facing weeks of complicated negotiations to form a government.
Meanwhile, the correspondent for community affairs in Europe, Ashifa Kassam, wonders why Vox was not finally able to meet his expectations when he was caressing his landing in the Government of Spain.
Finally, the journalist Jon Henley does an x-ray on the threat of the extreme right in Europe.
