The British newspaper The Guardian has published as the cover of its weekly edition an image with the flag of Spain under the shadow of an eagle, with the headline 'A long shadow', to refer to the slowdown that the general elections of the July 23th.

The Guardian wonders if “Vox's far-right bubble has burst” and states that before the elections it seemed that Vox's arrival in government was an “inevitable conclusion” and that the elections have left Spain with a divided Congress and a principle of blocking.

In that same edition, they also analyze the shadow of Francoism that still hangs over the country, as they wanted to caricature on the cover.

The designer of the cover, Federico Yankelevich, has explained what he wanted to represent on it: “The values of the old Catholic national morality loom large over Spanish democracy”, something that “summarizes the anguish felt by many in the country”.

The day after the elections, the British newspaper echoed the results of the elections in Spain and published: “The Conservatives do not achieve the expected majority”, to which it added, “the Popular Party and the Socialists of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declare victory with weeks of negotiations ahead.”
