En el marco del Día Mundial de la Libertad de Prensa este 3 de mayo, el embajador de Estados Unidos en México, Ken Salazar, reconoció “la valentía, el compromiso y la dedicación de periodistas, reporteros y profesionales de la comunicación” de nuestro país.

Salazar declaró que los periodistas empoderan con su labor a la ciudadanía, contribuyen a la transparencia y ayudan a contrarrestar la desinformación de quienes buscan engañar y debilitar los valores democráticos comunes.

“Colaboramos con nuestros socios en todo el mundo para que el periodismo sea libre, profesional, independiente y plural, mientras trabajamos para que puedan realizar su labor con seguridad y protección porque, como lo señaló el presidente Joe Biden, ‘ningún periodista –estadounidense o no– debería tener que arriesgar sus vidas y sus medios de subsistencia en busca de esa verdad’. Reconocemos su vocación con la verdad, ratificando nuestro compromiso para que puedan ejercer su trabajo sin presiones y en paz”, declaró.

“El periodismo libre es fundamental para que nuestras democracias puedan rendir más frutos. Le dan voz a quienes sin las y los periodistas no serían escuchados y fomentan un diálogo informado y plural. A través de su labor, también ayudan a que nuestras naciones se conozcan y comprendan mejor, contribuyen a profundizar nuestra relación y dan a conocer los beneficios que surgen de nuestra integración, la cual nos ha convertido en los principales socios comerciales”, expresó el embajador.

Reiteró que se continuará trabajando con las autoridades mexicanas, la sociedad civil y los medios informativos para que la prensa sea libre y garantice valores comunes como la libertad de expresión, la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas “porque así nuestras sociedades son más abiertas y contribuimos a empoderar a las y los ciudadanos”.
