Deputy Camacho Backs Lombana in La Prensa Scandal

Deputy Luis Eduardo Camacho surprisingly stated his agreement with the statements of former presidential candidate Ricardo Lombana regarding the supposed knowledge of the board of directors of the newspaper La Prensa about the actions of its former president, Annette Planells. In his message, Camacho suggested that, like Lombana, he doubts the letter in which the board of directors of the aforementioned newspaper distances itself from Planells' actions. The deputy emphasized that the medium's impartiality will not be earned with letters 'washing their hands.' 'I thought I would never agree on anything with the eternal candidate,' Camacho wrote on social media. The note in question details that Corporación La Prensa S.A. does not endorse Planells' actions, whom they stated failed to meet the three conditions required for her appointment, which included breaking any ties with the digital outlet Foco. The deputy reiterated that this proves that 'nothing is impossible in life.' 'I have irrefutable proof that they were fully aware of how, from that platform, a conspiracy was hatched to deceive the population with rigged publications,' he pointed out. According to the politician, only time and consistency in the independence and impartiality of its editorial content will demonstrate if they are committed to correcting their course, or if what was said is merely an imitation of Pontius Pilate. They maintain that the facts that have recently come to light confirm their suspicions that the requirements were not met. The company underscored its commitment to transparency and editorial independence, clarifying that Planells' actions were carried out without its knowledge, authorization, or approval.
