Editorial: El Mundo

• Donald Trump became the first US president convicted in a criminal trial and the first sentenced candidate with possibilities to win the elections.
• This verdict marks an unprecedented point in the US political crisis.
• Trump was found guilty of 34 charges for falsifying documents to hide payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and silence an extramarital affair.
• Despite the conviction, the US Constitution does not prohibit Trump from continuing in the presidential race.
• Trump's insistence on showing himself as a victim of the legal system is a political strategy that deepens the polarization of American society.

Conclusion: This situation evidences the erosion and degradation of American democracy, and represents a serious warning to European democratic systems, including Spain.
