10 Years of Combat Against Impunity: The Dire State of Journalism in Venezuela

Within the framework of the 10 years of combat against impunity for crimes against journalists imposed by the United Nations, we cannot stop turning towards countries locked in an authoritarian regime and this is the case of Venezuela.

Just 10 years coincide with madurismo and the figures are not encouraging at all, contrary to progress, There are setbacks and there are varieties of attacks and harassment against free communicatorsIn fact, these are like an endangered species because the regime wants them to be like-minded and many have had to exile themselves from their country due to their dignity.

To talk about this topic, Joel García, a Venezuelan lawyer specialized in criminal law and defender of several political prisoners in Venezuela, connected to NTN24’s La Tarde, who pointed out that Not only does journalism not enjoy freedom, but no Venezuelan is free.

“Venezuela is getting worse every day, although it is true that the persecution is more selective, It is no secret that journalists’ hands are tied, journalists are afraid to report“said the guest.

“Free journalism does not exist in Venezuela, in fact, no Venezuelan is free, we all have conditional freedom“It’s just that someone very close to the government wants someone and that someone can go to prison,” said lawyer Joel García.

UBS Settles Lawsuit Inherited from Credit Suisse with Lukas Hässig and Inside Paradeplatz

This lawsuit could have cost Lukas Hässig his existence: In December, the Swiss financial journalist announced that the major Swiss bank Credit Suisse, which was still independent at the time, had filed a lawsuit against him and his portal Inside Paradeplatz. The blog, almost a one-man operation, is read intensively in banking circles. Irrespective of the always polemical tone and often rough exaggerations, Hässig is a recognized researcher, he has already published several scoops on Inside Paradeplatz and initiated important research.

The bank targeted 52 articles and around 200 comments from the second half of 2022. She saw the personal rights of her managers violated in the texts and therefore demanded their deletion. She also demanded that Hässig hand over the profit he has made with the contributions since the end of July. The lawsuit against the lone fighter Hässig was not well received in the Swiss media world. After all, at that point Credit Suisse was already a dangerously stumbling bank with existential problems. Why did you take the time for such a lawsuit?

UBS inherited the lawsuit from Credit Suisse and has now ended it

A lot has happened since then: Credit Suisse no longer exists as it was, it was merged into its competitor UBS when its situation had deteriorated dramatically in March of this year. So UBS inherited the legal dispute with Lukas Hässig – and has now ended it with a settlement, like Inside Paradeplatz announced on Tuesday and confirmed by UBS upon request.

In four brief paragraphs, Hässig describes how the bank and Inside Paradeplatz reached an agreement before the Zurich Commercial Court on August 24. The blog “deleted numerous reader comments and deleted or adjusted three passages in two publications”. In the future, comments from readers would be carefully checked and personal infringements against the bank would no longer be permitted. The other claims were dropped as part of the settlement, including the surrender of profits.

The threatening procedure for Hässig, which according to him had a value in dispute of 300,000 francs, has thus been averted. However, checking reader comments is likely to be time-consuming for the small portal. For Lukas Hässig and also for press freedom in Switzerland, the comparison is at best a partial victory.
