VOICED : Reporteros Sin Fronteras contra crimenes a prensa mexicana

Artur Romeu, from Reporters Without Borders, condemned the murder of Mexican journalist Javier Valdés, highlighting the dangers faced by journalists in Mexico. Despite Valdés's international recognition, his murder sends a chilling message to other journalists working in vulnerable conditions. Romeu criticized the Mexican government's insufficient efforts to combat violence against the press, noting that authorities are sometimes complicit with organized crime. Since 2000, 100 journalists have been killed in Mexico, with 11 in 2016 alone, marking a record. The ongoing violence underscores the urgent need for effective measures to protect journalists.
