Diario ABC is a Spanish daily newspaper published in Madrid . It was first published as a weekly newspaper on January 1, 1903 , twice a week from June 1903 and has been published daily since June 1, 1905. ABC was founded by Torcuato Luca de Tena y Álvarez-Ossorio and is now published by Diario ABC SL , part of the Vocento media group . Diario ABC is known as a conservative and monarchist daily newspaper. Today, in addition to the national main edition, editions are published for the regions of Madrid , Valencia , Catalonia , Castile and León , Andalusia , Galicia and Canary Islands as well as for the cities of Seville , Córdoba and Toledo . A foreign edition appears in Brussels .
It only appeared in the capital until 1912, when an additional edition was published for the Spanish provinces. There has been a local edition for Seville since 1929 . With the proclamation of the second Spanish republic, ABC became the mouthpiece of the supporters of the monarchy, whose well-known representatives all published in this paper. With the beginning of the Spanish Civil War on July 18, 1936, ABC in Madrid was taken over by the Popular Front government . Accordingly, two versions of ABC appeared during the civil war: in Madrid an edition was published by the republican side for the own territories, in Seville Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena published an edition for the territories of the putschists of the Unión Militar Española .
After Francisco Franco's anti-republican troops invaded Madrid on March 28, 1939 , ABC Madrid was returned to its original owners. The very next day they published their first new edition. It appeared with the number 10.345 and thus followed directly on from the edition of July 18, 1936. In the Franco era, ABC was once again the best-selling newspaper in Spain.
It is now the daily newspaper with the third highest circulation in Spain, after the newspapers El País and El Mundo, which were founded after the end of Franquism . The daily sports newspaper Marca also has a higher circulation. In 2006, an average of 240,225 copies of ABC were sold daily.
ABC is the only Spanish newspaper today that appears in folio format. She is known for her third page articles. In addition, it is characterized by an upscale, conservative and monarchist-oriented style and numerous well-known columnists .
