And today a group of Argentinean reporters were detained and clashed with the Military Police as they deviated from the program and attempted to go and tape and interview protesters right outside the Miraflores Presidential Palace. According to the reports, the police got violent with them and actually blocked their path so that they could not get to the protesters. They also attempted to take away their equipment but were helped by other reporters. They were later detained and are being investigated. You can hear the sound from an interview with the reporter here, clipped from Argentinean TV.
Of course, Chavez denied this was true and even laughed at it, pointing to the “lie” in the Argentinean newspaper that published it this morning. Fortunately, the press is able to say things openly in Argentina, Venezuelans found out about this protest from the Argentinean report, as local news media regularly fail to report these events for fear of reprisal by the Government.
