A user on X uploaded a video after the Betis - Real Madrid match on Friday in which a group of Betis fans could be seen shouting the typical, not-so-subtle anti-government chant of "Pedro Sánchez, son of a..." So far, so normal. The internet is full of them. The surprise comes when we see that the official profile of El Español writes to them: "Hello, good evening! We have seen the video and would like to share it on our social media. Would you give us permission? Obviously, we would cite you and mention you as the author. Thank you very much and best regards".

When Pedro J. Ramírez founded El Español a decade ago, he decided to bring with him a court reporter who had been key at El Mundo when he was its director: María Peral. Peral is a journalist with decades of experience in a particularly competitive field in Madrid who started at El País and also worked for Abc, but it was under Ramírez's orders that she excelled. She was the one who published, for example, the document that certified the donation of 65 million euros from Juan Carlos I to Corinna Larsen. Well, this journalist has just published an exclusive that proves the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, wrong, and puts the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, in a very bad position.
