As a tribute to Ecuadorian journalism, to journalists and journalistic companies “that resisted with temperance and courage a decade of persecution and defenselessness”, the writer and editor Xavier Michelena presented a compendium of opinion articles from different editorialists in the country, which chronologically states the ten years of the government of former President Rafael Correa.

Calderón assures that it is up to the reader of the book to see them (the articles) ten years later “and judge those writings, see who was right, who was wrong”. (I)
