Based on Ed Markey's lengthy voting record to stand for the future and what's right for all Americans, this endorsement in\s interesting.
It does seem to indicate a lack of faith in Gabriel Gomez's empty promises.

Spanish-language newspaper endorses Irish-American Markey.
El Planeta, the state's largest Spanish language newspaper with a circulation of 40,000, said it endorsed Markey because the Irish-American Democrat would fight harder “to continue opening doors” for Latinos than Gomez, the son of Colombian immigrants and the Republican nominee.

The El Planeta Editorial said in part, "You would expect that for a Spanish-language media outlet, during an electoral campaign with a Latino US Senate candidate, the decision to support him would be easy. But on the matters that most affect the Latino community in Massachusetts, we think that Edward Markey has demonstrated a greater commitment to the defense of those issues than the Republican candidate, Gabriel Gómez.”
The editorial went on to praise Markey for supporting an immigration overhaul “without hesitation,” as well as President Obama’s health care program and funding for education and health care. The newspaper also favored Markey’s support for gun control and he continued support of "Roe vs. Wade".. -
