Cartoonist dismissed after drawing Trump playing golf alongside immigrant corpses ..
Michael de Adder is
the author of the image that was not published in the press, but was disclosed
by the same in social networks, where he also revealed, via Twitter, that
several American and Canadian newspapers canceled their collaboration.
The cartoonist said
on Twitter that the various newspapers in the eastern province of New Brunswick
had dismissed him, but he did not explicitly attribute the publication's
decision to the release of Trump's cartoon.
In the image, the
photograph of Oscar Ramirez (25 years old) and his daughter, Valeria (23
months), who died drowned when they clandestinely crossed the Mexican-US
border, are replicated, but the cartoonist puts Trump, next to a golf cart , to
watch the corpses and to ask: "Do you mind if I continue to play?"
The shocking
photograph of the bodies found in Rio Grande was disclosed in the international
press on Wednesday.
In early June, the
American newspaper The New York Times announced that it has decided to end the
publication of cartoons in the international edition, following the controversy
involving a cartoon by the Portuguese cartoonist António, considered an
anti-Semite.
