Panamanian Alternative Media Condemns Campaign Against Telesur TV
Panama, Mar 30 (Prensa Latina) The digital newspaper Bayano, an alternative project in Panama to spread the voice of the progressive sectors, today rejected the attempts by the Argentinean government to close the multinational Telesur news network in that country.
The desire to close this media which conveys truth and the world current events represents a hard and unacceptable blow to freedom of expression, refers the publication in a note signed by its Editorial Board.
Such a decision, the statement adds, marks the beginning of a campaign by the right wing in the American continent, with the aim of silencing the social movements and imposing harmful and alien models to national interests.
'No reason justifies these attacks on Telesur, which news agenda is determined with the help of an advisory council integrated by figures such as the Argentinean Nobel prize Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, the Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal, and Pakistani writer Tariq Ali, the political scientist and filmmaker Saul Landau, the chief editor of Le Monde diplomatique Ignacio Ramonet, the Argentinean film producer Tristán Bauer, and the actor and activist Danny Glover'.
