In Madrid, Spain, on October 20, 2025, Andres Rabago, known by his pseudonym ''El Roto,'' a renowned Spanish illustrator, cartoonist, and painter, receives the Gold Medal of the Circulo de Bellas Artes de Madrid at the age of 78. This award recognizes his lifelong commitment to social and political critique, which he considers a form of public service. Famous for his sharp, satirical cartoons published daily in *El Pais*, El Roto is praised by the president of the Circulo, Juan Miguel Hernandez, for his ability to expose the hypocrisy of the system and for the enduring relevance of his works, including those created decades ago.
