O Grande Prémio da edição deste ano do Press Cartoon
Europe distinguiu Rodrigo de Matos, por um trabalho publicado no último ano no
semanário Expresso. A distinção internacional foi-lhe atribuída por um trabalho
publicado no Expresso Economia onde retrata a forma como o apuramento da
selecção nacional de futebol para o Mundial no Brasil distraiu toda a gente da
difícil situação económica atravessada por Portugal, onde perante as
dificuldades e as políticas de austeridade esta surgiu como única alegria.
