'Cartoons against fascism': Cartoonists' response to the far-right offensive

  • Authors and agents of the Spanish comic book world have "harshly" denounced the "impunity" of fascism in the world of comics. The anti-fascist vignette has been written by the homophobic attacks of these days, including the murder of Samuel Luiz, and the fact that Vox developed the chairman of the RBA group.

Vox has pointed out to Ricardo Rodrigo Amar, president of the RBA communication group, for some of the comics published by the satirical magazine On Thursday, edited by himself, especially the La pandilla Voxura cromos.

According to historians, the presence of this party in the Parliament of the State and the Autonomous Communities has increased the threat of freedom of gender, sex, thought and expression. In their opinion, the institutions "whiten the neo-fascist ideology" and, moreover, "the media disseminate this ideology with total impunity, without any trace of ethics or professionalism".

Illustrators, writers, editors, translators, critics or booksellers have rejected messages and threats of hatred and added that those responsible for them deserve to be isolated. Furthermore, they say that there is no doubt that freedom of creation does not exist and that, despite repression and threats, they will continue to create.

"Comics is a space of equality and freedom." "There is no place among us for fascist, chauvinist, racist and homophobic speeches. Anyone who wants to insult us, intimidate us, point us out and humiliate us will always have us in sight.
