This piece presents a caricature by Px. Molina, a distinguished Nicaraguan cartoonist and illustrator whose work has garnered significant acclaim both nationally and internationally. Currently living in exile in the United States, Molina continues to be a powerful voice through his art, published on platforms such as confidencial.digital in Nicaragua and counterpoint.com in the U.S.

Molina's career is marked by numerous prestigious awards, reflecting the impact and quality of his illustrations. He was a recipient of the Gabo Award for Journalistic Excellence in 2021 and the María Moors Cabot International Journalism Award in 2019, among other honors. His recognition with the Courage in Cartooning Award in 2018 further underscores the bravery and significance of his visual commentary.

The inclusion of this caricature serves as a testament to the enduring power of political and social commentary through art, especially in contexts where freedom of expression may be challenged.
