Carlos Cornejo: “I would be surprised if on TV Peru the defense of life is not more important” | Present

In dialogue with La República, the journalist spoke regarding how he left the State channel following saying that Víctor Santisteban died “by a police projectile.”

Carlos Cornejo, journalist who ended his contract with TV Perú last January 30, he talks regarding his departure from the channel of the state and how it happened hours following he spoke live on his “Rimanchik” program regarding the Video from the Municipality of Lima, in which a police officer can be seen firing a tear gas canister at close range once morest Víctor Santisteban Yacsavilca. He died in the demonstrations in the center of Lima.

in conversation with The RepublicCornejo did not rule out his position regarding the facts, saying that what killed the citizen was “a projectile thrown by a policeman”. That statement might have been the reason for his departure from TV Peru. Likewise, he pointed out that, if this were the case, this would “surprise” him, since he believes that the television station should always be “in favor of human rights.”

If that has bothered them or if they have been upset, they have not told me explicitly or openly. I would be surprised if on the state channel (TV Peru) the defense of life and human rights was not the most important thing. I don’t think that was the reason, I hope that was not the reason, because, in such a case, the state channel, which is the channel of all Peruvians, must defend the lives of all,” he told this newsroom. .

When asked if his non-continuity would also have to do with previous pronouncements once morest the declarations of the ministers of State regarding the deaths that occurred in the regions, Carlos Cornejo pointed out that he maintained the same position since December 8 and that this “has been very clear and is in the unrestricted defense of life.”

If that bothers anyone, we’re completely upside down. (…). I mightn’t say if this has a political character because I don’t know. The rest would be assumptions or presumptions that are always difficult to establish, ”she said.
