BUENOS AIRES, 28 Mar. daily 'Clarín', one of the most influential of Argentina, has gone on sale with an unprecedented front page blank to protest the union blockade that prevented its distribution in several cities on Sunday, causing a widespread condemnation from politicians, intellectuals and social organizations.
"The first page of this edition is blank. It is a symbol of enforced silence of censorship in other ways, and a metaphor for what journalism can become if you continue to restrict the design freedom," said 'Clarín 'in its editorial. Sunday's protest, which also affected the daily 'La Nation', was organized by about 50 workers who blocked the printing plants of two newspapers for twelve hours, preventing the Sunday edition - one of the most read - normally circulate in Buenos Aires and other cities.
The workers complained of persecution against its major union leaders. This is the fifth protest paralyzes the movement of 'Clarín' and 'La Nation' since last November. Workers require owners to pay back wages and an end to the persecution of trade union officials, among other demands. The cover of this Monday is a blank slate on which you can only read the header with the name 'Clarín'.
On the inside pages can be read several articles of its journalists and editors who have used the occasion to denounce the government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner for his "accomplice omission" by not taking the necessary measures to prevent blockages. Managers 'Clarín' and 'The Nation' reported that on Sunday asked for help from security forces to disperse the demonstration and re-distribution of newspapers, but got no response.
The first flat white "is also a direct protest against the authoritarianism of those who have decided, out of conviction or innocence, undermining one of the main conditions of a free society is free to express any opinion," says the editorial. The Kirchner government has maintained strong confrontations with the Clarin Group, whose director, Ernestina Herrera de Noble, is now facing a harsh controversy over the origin of their two adopted children, who may have been stolen from opponents during the military dictatorship, as have denounced the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo.
Despite criticism of the owners of newspapers, Fernandez de Kirchner has instructed on Monday to Labor Minister Carlos Tomada, to work in a rapid solution to the "dispute" in Clarín Group. "The truth is that the Clarín Group believes it is exempt from the laws of Argentina in terms of union representation at all surprising companies (...) and you want to bias this conflict," said told Taken local radio station La Red
