Since the beginning of the industrial revolution and especially since its globalisation, humanity has had to face multiple challenges.
Inequality, violated rights, demography, migration, poverty, pandemics, wars, power struggles and national and international hegemonies, dictatorships, fanaticism, disinformation, ignorance, are all open issues that can produce global upheavals in a short time and change the course of human history.
Since 24 February 2022, there has been the threat of a third world war, or worse, a nuclear war, as well as the return of ideological, economic and geopolitical conflicts between two antagonistic hegemonic blocs.
This state of affairs jeopardises the survival, if not of humanity, at least of our societies and the cohesion of the European Union.
Press cartoonists wishing to participate in the 4th edition of the international political satire competition organised by the Librexpression Centre, were invited to illustrate this tragic situation.
281 cartoonists, from 63 countries, submitted 490 works to the jury.
