Interior and Transport Minister Florencio Randazzo questioned “delays” in the investigation into the illegal purchase of Papel Prensa, Argentina’s largest newsprint manufacturer during the last de facto government, a case he said “shows the complicity between dictatorship-era processes and civil society.”
“It must be investigated and move forward, slowness in Justice is unbelievable,” Randazzo said in an interview with the C5N news channel today, adding that the media legislation that was approved in 2009 – aiming at democratize access to information – should be fully implemented, facing, however, legal presentations that stops its observance.
“What is happening is embarrassing,” the minister said. “I am convinced that, for a country to be more democratic, the (media) law has to be implemented. When we talk about the power of concentrated media groups, (that power) is sometimes superior to that of the State.”
Regarding the elections, Florencio Randazzo ratified his hopes to compete in the PASO primaries under the Victory Front (FpV) party ballot, seeking to be a candidate “of a political process that has to continue.”
