Freedom of Expression in Venezuela

The freedom of expression and thought in a country means nothing more and nothing less than the real and constant reality that a common citizen has to express their living voice and their ideas, that at the bottom of things is nothing more than developing a free society as a political and social system.

In compliance with the activity assigned to conduct interviews with professionals of communication and law, with the purpose that speaks of freedom of expression and articles 57 and 58 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela we moved to the city ​​of Maracay, state of Aragua, going to the newspaper EL ARAGÜEÑO, where it was attended by Ernesto Ángulo, graduated from the Bicentenary University of Aragua, with CNP 12510.

"Speaking of freedom of expression at present is something complex, in the constitution we are given the full right to express our thoughts, ideas and opinions through expression, as well as those given in article 57, it also makes us slaves of what We express that what communicators should be responsible for everything we sell from our mouth or pen, but do we have that full right to express ourselves freely? Particularly, the Venezuelan media are, at times, informative, protecting the interests of the who are in power.
What makes it impossible for communication professionals to provide more information to our readers, which is our case as a written press. With this I do not mean that what appears on our pages is false, NO! Only on many occasions we can not talk about some issues or inform one hundred percent as it should.
Article 58 seems very important to me, this is where we must be extremely careful when publishing information that may be harmful, since this article gives you the possibility of being affected, or affected by the right to reply. the same conditions in the things that he committed the fault.

Here comes into play the freedom of expression, which can generate negative responses in society or community where we develop, particularly I think it is necessary to liberate the true expression, where you can do it by means of the resolution of the problem present in the day to day Freedom for all, even when it is said that there is no absolute truth in the primordial listening what different people think about a common theme, taking this to the world of communication unfortunately the laws are not complied with, we have seen how little by little the media, the written press, the radio, the television many times to meet what is at some point was created as law. You know that the situation we are going through and the work of journalists is greatly affected by the censures that can be awarded for mismanagement of information. As a legal professional I love the laws, and how good they were created, if it really applies to society as it should be to live differently. The right to reply or rectification is fundamental and how good it exists and what part for what, in case of inaccurate information being generated, the person, institution, affected community expresses its reality. A council that likes to make life, passion for what they do and responsibility for the moment of execution "
