this crisis is not just French

Founded in 1976, six months after Franco's death, “Le Pays” is the most widely read newspaper in Spain. A center-left daily, it belongs to the Spanish editorial group Prisa.

At the end of 2013, elpais.com launched two new editions for its Latin American readers, with their own editorial staff. The first, The Country Brazil, was developed in Portuguese for its Brazilian readership and had a site in its own right, before its disappearance for financial reasons in 2021. The second, The Country America, offers differentiated content for its readers on the American continent. Since 2020, The Country Mexico also has its own site and its own editorial staff.
