Nearly a year ago have not written anything in this blog, apart from the updates sent stomatal LoudTwitter, and I want to break the silence by publishing an email he wrote my mom a reason for the dismissal of Javier Darío Restrepo, one of the columnists of the newspaper El Colombiano de Medellín, purely by political censorship. Without further comment, here's the email:
Hello,
In today's El Colombiano column appears Javier Dario Restrepo, saying goodbye after 17 years, and it being notified He Colombian grounds of "re-organizing our opinion pages, it bounced into the street. That reminds me of the letter received many years ago Alberto Basque newspaper El Mundo where he threw his "2 nd column." I looked in El Colombiano Thursday May 7 and found the reason: Javier Darío column that day was entitled "The freedom to disagree", in which, among other similar sentences, he argued ; to:
"If it is unethical denounce the dangerous concentration of powers in one person, or the political campaign of deliberate downgrading of the Court, or supporting the most corrupt Congress to preserve a few votes, if this assertion is unethical, what is it ethical? Claiming "against all evidence that nothing happens, that the 81 congressmen investigated or prosecuted criminally for parapolitics scandal are only opposition that could also be processed by farcpolítica? "It would be ethically silence the false positives, corruption in the DAS, electoral corruption, the presidential family business? That information, I admit, it would be unethical if they were mere allegations, unsubstantiated assertions, political backbiting. But are facts that one could not deny if I tried. Would deny complicity and irresponsibility especially professional journalist ... .. "I think we can take a while and write a letter to the director of Colombia, protest, or are we going to let the prophecy is fulfilled by Bertolt Brecht : First they took
communists but I did not mind because I was not
.
Then workmen took
but
I did not mind because I was not.
unionists arrested after
but
I did not mind because I am not a trade unionist.
After some priests arrested
but since I'm not religious
not bother me. Now I have
me but it's too late.
Hugs, Luz Maria Restrepo
