The below is the statement with which the Institute for Press and Society (IPYS) discloses the world the case of journalist Karina Borrero, who was fired arbitrarily TV Canal Peru State . The reason for their split? He had said that if all Peruvians channel became "Sobon" (flattering, bootlicking, servile) with the government of Alan García, she quit.
Managers are greatly disliked the idea. This reaction is surprising if we consider that part of the Board of Directors is composed of colleagues Borrero, journalists like Maria del Pilar Tello (chairman) and Julio Estremadoyro (member) between them.
In a country like Peru, where the working conditions of journalists Most are destitute, and many suffer constant pressure by authorities uncomfortable with their jobs, Borrero's attitude is more than commendable: No professional would have sold their principles for a paycheck. Not that he deserves the name of a street or the next school to be opened in a young people. She had done what every journalist should do, would fulfill an obligation.
few days ago came to the facilities of Channel 7. Once inside, an officer asked her out and in the doorway of the building, said he was fired. He could not re-enter. One of his companions came to deliver your belongings.
A pearl. Further proof that the APRA does not change by more than make the effort, if they do.

Even though the journalist's contract expired on 7 September, IRTP's administration had given their word that they would renew it, so she had continued working. After these events, IRTP's President made declarations that were the equivalent of a threat to fire Rocío Aliaga, also a journalist with TV Perú, who publicly expressed her solidarity towards Borrero.IPYS believes Borrero's dismissal to be a violation of her fundamental right to the freedom of expression, as she gave an opinion about her professional conduct in the hypothetical case that the State channel should adopt a pro-government line.
