01.08.2025The Tariff Landed on Markets
The day in Spanish media saw President Trump's new tariffs dominate international economic reporting. Initial headlines focused on the executive order and the August 7th effective date, with El País noting the global economy entering a new tariff era. By early afternoon, coverage shifted to the tariffs' tangible impact, as global stock markets declined and Spain's IBEX 35 fell over 2%. Concurrently, domestic political pressures intensified around Prime Minister Sánchez, a continuation from previous days. Reports detailed increased security, ongoing corruption allegations linked to the "fixer" case, and a GRECO critique of anti-corruption efforts. Later in the day, a new, prominent international story emerged: the conviction of former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe to house arrest for bribery, drawing significant attention, particularly from RTVE.
