history
After it was founded in 1989, the newspaper exposed numerous scandals in the government environment, which was one of the reasons for the defeat of the PSOE under Felipe González in the 1996 elections. The newspaper covers a broad spectrum of opinions: For example, nationalist tendencies of the conservative party are just as critically commented as the independence movements of individual regions. Critics accuse the paper of dubious campaigns, for example with regard to alleged conspiracies of the socialists in connection with the Madrid train attacks in 2004. The repeated publication of articles and interviews with prominent Spanish history revisionists such as Pio Moa or César Vidal are also criticized. In September 2009, an interview with British Holocaust denier David Irving on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II sparked violent international reactions. El Mundo was a founding member of the journalistic research network European Investigative Collaboration (EIC) in 2016 .
In January 2014, Pedro J. Ramírez , editor of the newspaper, was fired from his post. He argued that coverage of corruption scandals in which Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was implicated led to his dismissal. Casimiro García-Abadillo served as editor until April 2015, when he was replaced by David Jiménez. As of 2020, Francisco Rosell is the editor.
Every year the newspaper El Mundo awards three awards, the so-called El Mundo titles: Person of the Year, Enemy of the Year and City of the Year. They each highlight the most influential, reprehensible and outstanding personality of the year that is coming to an end.
