Argentina Praises PL Significance
Buenos Aires - Latina has written glorious pages
throughout its 50 years, chiefly in the battle for
truth and objectivity, Cuban ambassador in Argentina
Aramis Fuente stated.
In an act at the Haroldo Conti Cooperation Cultural
Center marking the news agency's 50th anniversary,
the diplomat said PL has been a decisive factor in
making known the profoundly human essence of the
Cuban Revolution.
Its founder Argentine Jorge Ricardo Masetti
established Marti's principles of truth as a norm,
and being "objective but not impartial" was the
golden rule for journalists to face the monopoly of
the large US news agencies at the time, which
imposed their vision of the world, Fuente noted.
PL emerged by the time the newly-born revolutionary
government was carrying out Operation Truth to
unmask the series of crimes against justice, he
recalled.
Today it is necessary to continue with a similar
objective, to unveil actions like the US Supreme
Court's refusal to review the case of the five Cuban
anti-terrorists imprisoned in the US for trying to
avoid Miami-plotted terror actions against Cuba, the
ambassador sustained.
Amid the mainstream media's silence over that
injustice, Prensa Latina is key in the battle for
truth and ideas. |
