Resum

Junk news is part of the disinformation ecosystem employed to modify and influence citizens during election campaigns. This research analyses the content produced by several Spanish pages, identified as "disinformation media", both before and during the November 10 election campaign in Spain. Those Spanish websites that usually distribute junk content, that is to say, partisan, stemming from an extreme ideology and with a deeply propagandistic approach, were identified by means of the tool Junk News Aggregator of the Oxford Internet Institute. The aim was to disclose their political content agenda, the authorship of their publications, the treatment accorded to political groups and their representatives, and also to identify whether any variation in their activity occurred over the electoral period. Strategies of content and common publications, of a partisanal approach, lack of identification in the authorship and a clear ideological bias in favour of Vox were noted.
