Mr President, RCTV is a privately-owned TV station, which has been operating in Venezuela for more than half a century. RCTV’s history is, unfortunately, stigmatised mainly by its alleged controversial role in the April 2002 attempted coup in Venezuela. This is seen as the main reason behind the recent National Telecommunications Commission’s decision, supported by a Supreme Tribunal decision, not to renew RCTV’s broadcast licence.
Against this position, one has to set the upholding of the principle of freedom of the press and of media plurality. I admit the situation here is not black and white and the line separating one side of opinion from another is very fine, but only by a tiny margin we consider the freedom of the press prevails and any alleged ill-doing by the RCTV station must be properly substantiated in a court of law. Consequently, my group supports the resolution as it stands."@en1
