00:00The Association of Journalists of El Salvador expressed its rejection of threats to issue an arrest warrant against a journalist of the digital media, El Faro.
00:15What is happening right now reflects a more pressing and darker situation.
00:21It is very likely that next year's report will have to be called doing journalism is not a crime.
00:28Because what is happening right now is one more step in the criminalization of the practice of journalism.
00:35I believe that we have to raise our heads, we have to stand tall.
00:39We, journalists, are not criminals.
00:43We, journalists, do a very important job for democratic cities, for democracy.
00:49What we have done is an investigation based on the journalistic method, and they are trying to impose a narrative, that basically wants to manipulate in a very perverse way, and make us look, as if we are the ones who commit crimes, as if we were criminals.
01:06Thank you very much.
