Headlining with “A Nobel for Spanish,” a delighted ABCreports that this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature will be presented to the Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa. The daily affirms that the award will send a positive message to more than 400 million Hispanophones worldwide, who have welcomed the Swedish Academy’s decision "with a legitimate sense of pride." The prize will "highlight the leading role of Spanish at the forefront of world literature," writes ABC. The right-wing daily also voices support for what it terms the controversial Vargas Llosa’s "moderate and liberal" political views, which "oppose extremism and complicity with totalitarian regimes that is presented as revolutionary ideology."
