Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced a controversial plan to reform media regulations, citing the need for transparency and democratic regeneration.

The proposal includes measures to disclose media ownership, limit public funding, and enforce mandatory election debates.

Sánchez claims the plan aligns with EU regulations, but opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo accuses him of attempting to control the media.

The government promises €100 million in digitalization aid for media outlets, while also proposing stricter rules on audience measurement and advertising spending.

Critics view the plan as a distraction from ongoing investigations into Sánchez's wife, adding tension to an already polarized political climate.
