The Community of Madrid has awarded the 2025 Culture Prize in the Literature category to Alfonso Ussía, a writer and journalist who receives this award in recognition for his work,
which stands out as a defense of the values and principles of freedom, according to information released today by the Governing Council through the Community's Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Sports.
