Editorial: El Mundo

  • Donald Trump's behavior during his second term threatens democratic stability in the US and beyond.
  • The recent incident with the death of a woman by ICE agents in Minneapolis has heightened conflict.
  • Trump has blamed local authorities and threatened to establish the Insurrection Act, enabling an aggressive use of the National Guard.
  • The president shows support for ICE agents, and attempts to protect them from possible legal consequences.
  • The resignation of six federal prosecutors in Minnesota suggests political pressure in the investigation of the woman's death.
  • Trump's conception of unrestricted leadership is also reflected in his foreign policy.

Conclusion: Trump's actions demonstrate a use of power without legal or institutional checks, which is not congruent with the democratic principles that govern in the US.
