The journalist recounted the ordeal experienced during this time. ““I have the responsibility to communicate that for more than three years I have maintained absolute silence, I have respected all judicial stages and yet, with a sentence, the disqualification and repeated harassment through social networks continue.”he accused.
Since reading the sentence, Vargas warned about the lies spread to discredit her. “The truth has been ignored in a grotesque, fanciful and irresponsible way,” he said, emphasizing that third parties have been “used to create a parallel story and cause harm.”
