The graphic reporter Pablo was injured while covering the retirees' demonstration, nearly losing his life in the attempt. At 35 years old, he is in critical condition at the Ramos Mejía Hospital. In defense of freedom of expression and the right to information, colleagues and friends have called for various demonstrations in repudiation of state violence.
Pablo Grillo's situation has generated a wave of solidarity and protests in different parts of the country. During a mass at the hospital gates and a traffic light protest in Plaza de Escalada, justice and an end to repression were demanded. The indignation over the attack on the photojournalist has been expressed through walks, pot-banging, and vigils.
Pablo's colleagues reaffirm their commitment to the profession and the tireless pursuit of truth. Gatherings and calls have been organized in different squares to show solidarity and demand answers. The Argentine Graphic Reporters Association (ARGRA), the Buenos Aires Press Union (SiPreBA), and the Argentine Federation of Press Workers (FATPREN) have joined forces in this cause.
Despite the risks involved in practicing journalism, graphic reporters continue their work with courage and determination. Society has united in a cry for justice and truth, demanding accountability from the authorities and showing solidarity with Pablo and his family in this difficult time. Freedom of expression and the right to information are fundamental values that must be protected and respected by all.
