New internal upheaval at Prisa, this time affecting one of the most sensitive areas of the media empire: the newspaper's management.The CountryPepa Bueno will leave the helm of the newspaper in the coming days. Jan Martínez Ahrens, currently director ofThe Country America, as already communicated in the editorial office. This is the latest in a chain of changes implemented by the group's president, Joseph Oughourlian, which have a clear political implication, consisting of distancing himself from the Moncloa government.Bueno had been running the newspaper since July 2021..

Prisa has the most widely read general newspaper in Spain. Prisa has the radio station with the most listeners. But Prisa does not have a television station, after several failed attempts, and this is a thorn that will continue to be stuck in the media conglomerate. The announcement that Pedro Sánchez's government wanted to put out to tender a new licence for a general DTT channel had activated the group's machinery to be able to opt for it, trusting that the editorial harmony with the PSOE would add points when it came to obtaining it. The initiative was led by the president of Prisa Media, Carlos Núñez, but in recent days a sudden change of script has unleashed an internal division within the group. The president, Joseph Oughourlian, has ruled out taking this project forward, which has led to Núñez's resignation.
