Mexico - Patricia Villegas, president of Telesur network, answered the Argentinean government that media is not partial and challenged the authorities of that country to debate on plurality of that platform, Mexican daily La Jornada highlights today.

She argued that Telesur has not received an official notification, "we or any of the governments members of that platform (Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Uruguay) have been notified".

The decision of Argentina, according to Hernan Lombardi, Minister of Media of that country, is that the multinational TV network, founded by president Hugo Chavez, is not plural and the government of Mauricio Macri has nothing to do with its contents.

Villegas, of Colombian nationality, declared to be surprised and stressed she believed that "some rights for which we have fought in the region would not be erased by decrees or decisions announced by the media".

Founder of the platform she now directs, she emphasized on the contributions of what she defines as "a factory of Latin American and Caribbean contents", which used all the journalistic genres, with the most extense network of correspondents for a media of this region of the planet.

She extolled the coverage of international news, the presence of an open signal in Cuba and the free use of its contents made by community media in Latin America that without them would lack access to a Latin American look to world events.

She also highlighted other achievements of Telesur as the correspondent in the rural zone of Guatemala, the follow-up to the would-be-teachers of Ayotzinapa, who disappeared in September, 2014 in Iguala, Mexican state of Guerrero and maintain a foreign correspondent in Caracas.

In an interview with La Jornada via Skype, she described coverage and crucial topics of the agenda.

You want plurality to be debated, alright, but let´s give a real debate, she said.

"Telesur has shown in almost 11 years, that it is more than an attempt to put a label", she said. Villegas also referred to a great number of community TV and Radio networks that receive Telesur contents free of charge.

For those media, she indicated, it is the only way to have a look at what it is happening in the world from the perspective of a Latin American and Caribbean news network.
