In another tweet, he added: “We also believe that defending institutions and people are different matters.. We also have a difference with the channel regarding the notion of violence. In our opinion, what generates violence is poverty, indigence, unemployment, inflation and all the disasters that we will spare ourselves mention. We are not naive. We know that communication amplifies and influences. But we do not confuse the problem with the symptom. They are not the same”.

Expanding on the reason for her decision, the journalist remarked: “Our commitment is with the facts and with the truth. Our opinions and editorial line are solely our own.and we have always been willing to bear the costs of defending them.”

We can be right or wrong. But always free and worthy. Thank you for joining us every night.”
