Santiago Ortiz
Santiago Ortiz is the Secretary General of the Sindicato de Periodistas del Paraguay (SPP), an organization advocating for the rights and protection of journalists in Paraguay. Recently, he was in the news for emphasizing the urgent need to pass the Law for the Protection of Journalists, in response to over 100 documented attacks against media workers in the last three years. Ortiz highlighted the recurring nature of these aggressions, which he attributes to a broader social and political context where journalism often faces hostility from powerful groups. He argued that the proposed legislation is essential not only for journalists but also for the protection of human rights defenders, as they play a crucial role in maintaining democracy and ensuring access to information.
