After unanimous support for the prosecutors of Rosario, to which a summary was initiated for having told NEWS how they live while they investigate the narco gangs, the Association of Prosecutors of the province of Santa Fe decided to take another path. It is that in the communiqué issued on Tuesday the 4th, They held this magazine responsible for “misrepresenting and decontextualizing statements” and for breaking the off, arguments that are not real and that were not made by the protagonists.
The March 10 NEWS cover story, prosecutors in danger, was intended to demonstrate what is the job of judicial officials who confront and accuse drug traffickers. But for not having the authorization of the press office, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, at the request of the Regional Prosecutor of Rosario Eugenia Iribarren, carried out a disciplinary file against Valeria Haurigot and Pablo Socca.
The publication of that summary generated an immediate response from judicial officials, journalists and politicians. No one wants the obligation to inform or the right to be heard to be curtailed, if that does not imply hindering any particular cause.
However, the Association of Provincial Prosecutors was against that position. “Prosecutors suffer daily misrepresentation and decontextualization of statements that we make to the press,” the statement says, despite the fact that none of the suspects protested to NEWS for an event of this nature. What they had declared was respected.
Nor is the statement they make about the fact that “Many of the expressions that are recorded there were said without consent to be quoted.” This medium respected the off when it was requested. Everything published with first and last name was said in on.
But something else caught the attention of some prosecutors who protested the statement. The text begins by defending the actions of the press office (which had requested that the interviews not take place), over the decisions of the prosecutorswho are the true protagonists and who put their lives at risk for the work they do.
“The establishment of a press office has been a wise decision that provides prosecutors with adequate management and organization of journalistic demands,” the statement said. And he completes: “Its director, Sebastián Carranza, has been characterized for years by his competent actingknowledgeable and respectful”. Despite the fact that it was Carranza himself who initiated this summary that would sanction Haurigot and Socca.
The The Association of Prosecutors of Santa Fe even opposed the position taken by the national organization that brings together these officials. On Monday, R.icardo Toranzos, the head of the Association of Prosecutors of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Nation expressed his support for Haurigot and Socca privately, first, and then publicly. “For us, the motivation for which this summary was initiated is very worrying. We want to contain and accompany them. His statements do not compromise the institution, they were in the public interest, ”he indicated.
