Prosecutor's office opens investigation against cartoonist Matador for attacks directed against the first lady: “Violence against women”

The Colombian Attorney General's Office has opened an investigation against cartoonist Julio César González Quiceno, widely known as "Matador," following publications directed at First Lady Ana Lucía Pineda that are being investigated under the classification of violence against women.

The inquiry stems from public comments and qualifiers used by the caricaturist, including referring to the first lady as a "ratita," which sparked broader public debate and criticism. Among those reacting to the remarks was Spanish journalist Eva Rey, who publicly questioned the cartoonist's language and accused him of misogyny in the context of discussions surrounding aid for disaster victims.
