Is Expansión left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Expansión is listed as Center on Crosswire: like most business and financial dailies it is read across the political spectrum, with an editorial line defined more by markets than by party politics. In Spain, elDiario.es and Público are listed as Left-leaning, while ABC and La Razón are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Expansión beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Expansión beside another title from Spain and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Business dailies rank stories by market consequence rather than political salience, so Expansión will often lead on something the general press buries — and describe the same policy in the language of cost and risk rather than fairness. Because Expansión is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Spain title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
