<p>
The <i>La Solidaridad</i> newspaper was created on February 15, 1889 in Barcelona, Spain.   It served as the principal organ of the 

propaganda movement of the same name, <i>La Solidaridad</i> for over five years.

<p>
In its first editorial,  Graciano López Jaena outlines the publication's aspirations to compile progressive and liberal ideas and 

to promote the ideal of democracy while exposing the ills plaguing Spain and all its provinces. He emphasized that the <i>La 

Solidaridad</i> will especially focus on affairs relevant to the Philippines, which lacks representation in the Spanish Cortes.
