In an interview with daily El Universo, Guadalupe Fierro, the new president of the National Union of Journalists (UNP for its Spanish acronym), talks about her idea of forming a front for the defense of freedom of expression before “aggressions” by the government.

“There should be no exclusions. The most important thing is to understand that when this right is violated not only a professional job, but a fundamental right of an entire society is being restricted. “

The call is made to all unionized collectives of journalists to rescue the dignity of professional practice “and defend the legitimate action of our peers to defend the legitimate action of our peers, regardless of where they are exercising their profession, whether in the private, public or community media.
