FOPEA, ADEPA, opposition legislators and dozens of journalists on
Wednesday expressed their solidarity with Daniel Santoro and repudiated the ruling
of the federal judge of Dolores and a member of “Legitimate Justice” that expanded the prosecution of the
Clarín
journalist
.
In a statement, FOPEA, which brings together 600 journalists from all over the country, expressed its
"concern and condemnation"
of the ruling, which is
"a new attempt to criminalize"
the practice of journalism in Argentina.
FOPEA, chaired by Fernando Ruiz, began to analyze the ruling in its entirety for an eventual broader pronouncement.
For his part, ADEPA director Daniel Dessein also
expressed his concern over the ruling against Santoro during the 76th General Assembly of the Inter-American Press Association (IAPA)
.
Former deputy and member of ENACON Silvina Giudici pointed out that the judge used the figure of the “Illegal Parastatal Association” and affirmed “With
how much irrationality
the accusations are used.
Journalists enjoy
constitutional guarantees
to obtain information from their sources confidentially and freely.
Until a judge arrived with a new “doctrine” contrary to the rule of law ”.
Demonstrations in support of
the deputies of Juntos por el Cambio, Waldo Wolff and Pablo Tonelli,
and lawyers Pablo Lanusse and Roberto Herrera, among others,
also reached the newspaper
to support Santoro's constitutional guarantees to practice journalism and investigate.
For her part, the former head of the Anti-Corruption Office, Laura Alonso, said on Twitter that “Ramos Padilla is
doing his homework so that he can be promoted
.
My solidarity with Daniel Santoro and Carlos Stornelli ”, alluding to the versions according to which Cristina Kirchner promotes him for the Buenos Aires Federal Chamber or the electoral court of La Plata.
“Freedom and open societies: Always under threat.
Do not forget.
Do not get tired.
Once again they have to be defended ”, added Alonso.
