This is the second time in less than one month that a major media outlet has been attacked.
Social networks went crazy with the vandalism at Todelar’s headquarters in Bogota. Videos showed red liquid stains on the façade of the North Highway media outlet.
Even cars, as well as walls and doors, were damaged. The person responsible for these crimes and who was arrested isn’t the first to have attacked this building.
It is not clear that the event has anything to do with Diego Molano’s campaign headquarters which was also painted red.
SEMANA was told by the campaign for the Mayoral candidate of Bogota that several people painted the area in the wee hours of Saturday.
Investigations continue into the events that occurred in Todelar, and the security guard who appeared to have been attacked has now entered Forensic medicine.
Molano, who knew what had happened to Todelar and was not afraid to express his views on social media networks.
“First scene: SEMANA magazine vandalized. The second scene is a national government official who promotes vandalism, the head of the campaign debate for the Uscategui opposition. The headquarters of the opposition candidate for mayor was vandalized. Fourth scene: Radio Todelar vandalized. What is the title of your work? The candidate snarled, “DEMOCRACY IS UNDER TREATMENT.”
Second act of vandalism the same day. Just two weeks until the elections. We must not allow violence to take place, as today’s picture is, tomorrow could be worse. “My solidarity with Radio Todelar,” said he on social media.
This isn’t the first attack on a media outlet. On Friday, September 29 at noon, members of indigenous minga, who had traveled to Bogota’s north for the march organized by Gustavo Petro, violently took control of SEMANA.
They broke the windows and assaulted a guard when they entered. It took almost an hour for the indigenous to take over. Some of the people on the ground floor were employees of SEMANA or other companies with headquarters within the building. They felt threatened and scared by the protest.
The facilities were filled with panic. SEMANA condemns the serious assault on freedom of press.
