Spanish newspaper *El País* has received two mentions of honor from the jury of the Grupo de Diarios América awards, recognizing excellence in Latin American journalism for 2026. The recognized works are “Los crímenes del padre Juanjo” (Father Juanjo’s Crimes), an investigative piece, and “Biografía de José Pepe Mujica: el tupamaro que estuvo 12 años preso y llegó a presidente de Uruguay” (Biography of José Pepe Mujica: the Tupamaros who was imprisoned for 12 years and became President of Uruguay). The awards highlight the high quality of *El País*'s reporting on significant issues in the region. The biography details the life of José Mujica, a former Uruguayan president and former Tupamaros guerrilla. This acknowledgment positions *El País* as a leading journalistic voice in Latin America. The awards will be presented at a ceremony later this year.
