Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Spain will not be next in line for a bailout, the country's finance minister said today after Portugal became the third eurozone country to seek outside help.
Elena Salgado said a bailout for Spain is "absolutely ruled out".
She said investors have concluded that the Spanish economy "is more diversified, more powerful with sound basics, and is much more competitive".
Spain's economy will be tested today during a bond auction to raise as much as 4.5 billion euro (£3.9 billion).
Thousands of young Spaniards are expected to demonstrate tonight against high unemployment and a rash of government austerity measures.
