«We see the new attack that the illegitimate National Assembly had once morest the media (…) this does not come as a surprise to us, because one day they hit journalists, another day educators, and little by little they destroy the foundations that support the country,” Montero commented.
From your perspective, Nicolás Maduro’s regime intends to deprofessionalize journaliststo make the information that reaches the homes of Venezuelans not be truthful, and in this way, they have greater social control over the masses.
The direction of Voluntad Popular questioned these claims, and in turn, they wondered why the regime does not focus on finding mechanisms that contribute to the strengthening of professions in general, such as: improve the houses of study of Social Communication and grant scholarships to all those who intend to study journalism in Venezuela.
Montero even stressed that this VP statement is not directed once morest people who cannot study social communication and intend to communicate from their possibilities. According to the representative of Voluntad Popular, the intention is that any Venezuelan who has the concern to inform, can do so from the qualified universities that exist in the country.
«This is not just a problem for journalists, we cannot think that it is something that only concerns the neighbor. We are talking regarding the people who will be in our homes, because in our homes we have screens: both telephones, televisions, or on the radio, who are journalists, and they are the ones who inform us and influence us directly.Montero added.
