In his weekly publication La Lettre Électronique Hebdo, the founding president, Roger Grevoul, praised the debates, particularly the responses to the campaigns promoted by the big media of the capitalist powers. The meeting ended on Monday with the presence of executives and communication professionals from more than 30 countries,

In this regard, he recalled that the event was inspired by the validity of Operation Truth carried out in 1959 by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, to show the world what was happening on the island in the processes against those responsible for crimes of the recently overthrown dictatorship, and to target false informations circulating about them.

Since then, similar campaigns have been carried out in different ways, hence the importance of the exchange of experiences and proposals promoted by Prensa Latina, he stressed.

According to Grevoul, the fight of the French organization CubaCoop is the same, although on a smaller scale, due to its commitment to the dissemination of the Cuban reality, its successes and challenges.

The forum, he said, was also an opportunity to commemorate the 65th anniversary of Prensa Latina news agency, founded in June 1959 under the precepts of Operation Truth, to give voice to the peoples of the South, and as an alternative media that defies the Western monopoly.
