In an episode that raised concern in various sectors, including journalism and the opposition, a possible restriction on press freedom in Congress was reported. During the coverage of the Legislative Assembly in Congress, journalist Mariano Casal from Infobae was assaulted, prompting reactions among press workers and society in general.
Social media allegations suggest that other press workers were harassed and expelled from the venue, preventing them from reporting on what was happening at that moment. Amid the controversy, journalist Claudio Savoia from Radio Rivadavia alerted about the actions being taken against the press, questioning whether those journalists who were simply trying to inform about the events were being expelled.
This situation highlighted the importance of respecting press freedom and the fundamental role that journalists play in society. The assault on Mariano Casal and the expulsion of press workers sparked a debate about the limits to freedom of expression and the right to information in the legislative sphere. Organizations linked to the defense of press freedom expressed their concern and called for respect for the work of journalists in the exercise of their informative duty.
