Press cartoons have a rich tradition in Latin America. This unique language, which is both journalistic and artistic, bears witness to the upheavals in the political and social history of a continent where press freedom is under threat. This is the case, for example, in Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela… Freedom of the press is never a given and can be called into question at any time anywhere in the world. Including in France.
