The Digital Alliance Behind Extremist Media Networks

• An investigation reveals that the Spanish far-right platform 'Estado de Alarma TV (EDATV)' colluded with Catalan digital outlets to aggregate traffic data and secure public advertising funding.
• Despite a sharp decline in independent traffic, EDATV utilized the combined numbers of Catalan outlets E-Notícies and Catalunya Diari to remain an attractive target for institutional ad revenue.
• The outlets share technical infrastructure and have historical connections to a core group of entrepreneurs from Reus.

Data Aggregation and Public Funding

• GFK audience measurement records from May 2024 to April 2026 show the three portals grouped together, significantly inflating EDATV's reach metrics.
• This inflation facilitated access to public funds; EDATV has received at least 680,000 euros in institutional advertising from regional administrations governed by the Partido Popular (PP) since 2021.
• The practice ended in May 2026, coinciding with broader declines in search-engine-driven traffic across the industry.

Technological and Financial Infrastructure

• All three outlets rely on 'Atlas CMS,' a content management system provided by Trivium Quadriviumque Digital SL, managed by Àlvar Thomas.
• E-Notícies underwent a 100,000-euro capital increase in January 2026, though ownership details remain opaque despite the outlet's history of accumulated financial losses.

International Network and Influence

• Javier Negre, founder of EDATV, has positioned the platform as a hub for far-right content creators and political figures, including Vito Quiles.
• Negre has extended this influence globally, participating in CPAC events and establishing ties with supporters of Donald Trump and other international right-wing leaders, effectively turning his media operation into a node of transnational propaganda.
