On the occasion of World Free Press Day, the ambassador to the United States, Carlos Vecchio, sent a message of encouragement to Venezuelan journalists who every day face repression from Nicolas Maduro’s dictatorship.
“Our support to all journalists and media workers who every day face and overcome obstacles, persecution and intimidation posed by the dictatorship in Venezuela,” the ambassador said through his Twitter account.
Vecchio extended his congratulations to the various press unions operating in the country. “Apevex, CNP, SNTP, without a free press there is no democracy,” he ended.
