![]() The government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez launched Monday in Costa Rica "a campaign for truth" in order to prove that there is freedom of expression and counter criticism of impending closing of TV channel Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV). With a pamphlet entitled "Elucidating questions and answers - RCTV will operate until May 27th, 2007," Venezuelan ambassador to Costa Rica Nora Uribe and two renowned scholars and journalists called the local media as part of what they called "Sovereignty and freedom of expression in Venezuela." The move has been implemented also elsewhere in Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and Bolivia, as well as in Spain and the United States, AFP reported. Guess that makes sense. In a communist kind of way. Sorta. |
