The Popular Party has expressed its strongest condemnation of insults and threats of aggression against a journalist of "The Truth" Jose Lopez starred in the Gala of the Rocks of Cartagena, which he attended as mayor and which returned to show attitudes typical of a brawler, said Joaquin Mowing, Deputy Secretary of Communications People's Party Cartagena.
Mowing stressed that "Lopez says every day his absolute contempt for the liberty of others, try to impede the work of the political opposition and becomes personal enemy to anyone who takes the opposite or question his work."
In less than a year the government has threatened to media, he noted with names and surnames information professionals and has tried to silence the press with a web of denials.
At the Gala de las Peñas it was far beyond when he challenged the journalist to go outside to fight to death.
For Deputy Secretary of communication "Cartagena does not deserve a quarrelsome mayor who behaves like a brawler in official acts. Political parties should not pamper you and the first thing you should put a stop to this situation is the Socialist Party that keeps you as mayor municipality".
Castejon, dumb
Its ally in government, Mrs. Castejon, pledged to control the outbursts of its mayor, but also it has demonstrated its inability and we fear that will remain silent at this new episode of verbal violence and physical threats.
Castejon is complacent with the bravado of his prime minister and never dared to correct him in public.
"Neither Lopez nor Castejon seem to have realized that in a democracy the criticism is answered with arguments, not threats, and the work of public managers is subject to the control that society is thanks to freedom of expression through political parties and media "has completed Joaquin Mowing.
