International Women's Day demonstrations dominated Spanish media coverage throughout the day, as thousands of feminists marched despite heavy rainfall across the country. The coverage highlighted deepening divisions within feminist movements, particularly in Barcelona over prostitution and trans rights issues, continuing the fragmentation trend observed in previous years.
Right-leaning media (La Razón, Libertad Digital) framed the protests as a "failure of the left" and emphasized sexual scandals in leftist parties, while progressive outlets focused on resistance against "reactionary waves" and far-right opposition. The demonstrations occurred against the backdrop of defense issues that dominated previous days' coverage, with media noting Sánchez's promise to increase military spending has created tension with left-wing coalition partners.
Morning coverage also highlighted migrant women's struggles and gender inequalities, including healthcare discrimination and wage gaps in Galicia.
