“The curious thing about this mural is that, in addition to highlighting the figure of Iglesias Pantín and the labor movement, it also has the allegory of the right to strike,” adds Murray, who points out that the mural was painted in 1973.

Ileana Delgado Castro for El Nuevo Día newspaper wrote in 2007:
From the Capitol, you can take a short drive to Puerta de Tierra, to the Dock Workers Union (UTM) building at 101 Pelayo Street, to see “Elegy to Santiago Iglesias Pantín,” an imposing oil-on-canvas mural by Rafael Ríos Rey that rests on pedestals attached to the wall — a work that was donated to the organization by the now-defunct First Federal Saving Bank.
