'''Jorge Camacho Cordón''' (born 18 November 1966, [[Zafra]]) is a writer in [[Esperanto]] and [[Spanish language|Spanish]].

Camacho was born in [[Zafra]], [[Spain]] and learned Esperanto in 1980. He was a member of the Academy of Esperanto from 1992 until 2001. Since 1995 he has worked in [[Brussels]] as an interpreter for the [[European Union]] from [[English language|English]] and [[Finnish language|Finnish]] into Spanish.

Camacho was elected to the [[Academy of Esperanto]] in 1992, but on 15 August 2001 he announced his resignation due to disappointment with the Esperanto movement. However, he remains active in Esperanto and continues to review literary works.

== Works ==
Camacho became famous for his poems and short stories in the late 1980s, for which he received several prizes in the ''Belartaj Konkursoj de UEA''. In 1992 he won the [[Grabowski Prize]], a prize for young authors writing in Esperanto. The prize is named after [[Antoni Grabowski]].

Camacho was in the early 1990s considered a member of the so-called ''Ibera Skolo'' ("Iberian School") of Esperanto writers along with three other inhabitants of the [[Iberian Peninsula]].

In the 1990s, Camacho began to publicly oppose [[Giorgio Silfer]] for his interpretation of the political view "[[Raumism]]". He wrote ''La Majstro kaj Martinelli'' ("The Master and Martinelli"), a biting satire of Silfer (inspired by [[The Master and Margarita|the similarly titled novel]] of [[Mikhail Bulgakov]]), and criticised his ideology in ''La liturgio de la foiro'' ("The Liturgy of the Fair").
