At the heart of the Gen Z movement from September to October last year, this image taken by Luis Tato circulated worldwide. (Photo credit: Amnesty International) It was this admiration for the Malagasy "Gen Z" that likely earned Spanish photographer Luis Tato the Visa d'or News award on Saturday. He covered events from September 2025 through October of the same year, which led to the end of Rajoelina's reign. The latter had plunged the country into such poverty and pushed the 80/90 generation to its limits. Luis Tato, who describes this "Gen Z" as "defining the idea of democracy... in an interesting dynamic," takes a personal interest in it. With his now recognized and respected figure worldwide, Herizo Andriamanantena, spokesperson, has behind him an entire band of young intellectuals, geeks, artists, and more. His natural affinity for this "struggle" of an entire generation, resulting in allied military intervention, likely allowed him to fully immerse himself in the context. And to capture poignant images at ground level. Previous years' award winners photographed Gaza, Syria, and other unstable zones. Collected by Maminirina Rado
