03.01.2026The Day of the US Attack on Venezuela
The morning began with Spanish editors focused on domestic friction, specifically the submission of Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s private messages to the judiciary regarding the DANA disaster. However, a sudden editorial pivot occurred as reports emerged of explosions in Caracas. By mid-morning, all major outlets shifted to a war footing, confirming a large-scale US aerial intervention under the Trump administration.
Throughout the afternoon, the narrative transitioned from military strikes to the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Editors tracked their transit to New York aboard the USS Iwo Jima for a narcoterrorism trial, with conservative media emphasizing the televised spectacle and progressive outlets labeling the event a kidnapping or coup. By evening, focus turned to President Pedro Sánchez’s refusal to recognize the intervention, while Donald Trump announced that the US would govern Venezuela during a transition, signaling an immediate shift from military action to administrative occupation.
