Marketed as “the site of nonconformists,” Okdiario quickly rose to prominence through its aggressive editorial style, frequent disinformation, and relentless attacks on the Spanish left, independence movements, and perceived enemies of Spanish nationalism.
The outlet has repeatedly published fabricated or distorted stories, including unsubstantiated claims that the left-wing party Podemos was financed by Iran and Venezuela, allegations that have been widely debunked but effective in shaping public perception. Spanish courts have convicted Okdiario multiple times for disseminating false information, yet it remains one of the most popular digital newspapers in the country. Its editorial line routinely blurs the boundary between opinion and journalism, privileging ideological combat over factual reporting.
Okdiario maintains close ties with Spain’s far right, as well as the Mexican ultraconservative sect El Yunque, known to operate through front groups like CitizenGO and the Political Network for Values. Despite its hyperpartisan stance and record of disinformation, the outlet has received financial support from conservative-led regional governments in Spain.
Inda portrays Okdiario as an antidote to the so-called mainstream media, claiming to deliver “real news” to the public. In practice, the site has become a key node in Spain’s far-right media ecosystem, emblematic of the broader use of propaganda and disinformation to advance reactionary political agendas.
