A reader and friend sends this in, wonderring if this was self-censorship or a simple change of mind. On the left you have the cover of the “printed” edition of El Nacional which appeared in the website of that newspaper. The main healine is a fairly scandalous one in which General Baduell, the same one that said the military movements the other night were routine, says that the Inspector General of the Armed Forces is investigating the troop movements. This was later replaced by a milder vesrion on the right, in which it was switched with the news of the statements by the Attornety General of the “perverse” inflirtation of the country’s police at all levels. The second one was the one that appeared in the actual printed edition. Given that the muzzle law came into effect yesterday, one can only wonder if the Editor thought the first version was “too strong” given the new law, or if he simply had a change of heart. I guess we will never know.
