In a communiqué, the legislators expressed their concern for the appointment, recently made by the president of the Senate and vice-president of this nation, Victoria Villarruel.

Kasanzew participated as a correspondent in the Malvinas War (1982) for Argentina Televisora Color, sent by the Military Junta to develop the journalistic coverage with an account directed by the last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983), the text states.

He was characterized as “the face of the war”, reaffirming his role as a builder of the official “triumphalist” story of the de facto government, while the combatants gave their lives in defense of sovereignty, it adds.

Likewise, he emphasizes that “the Malvinas Cause is one of the noblest for all the Argentine people”.

Throughout the length and breadth of the country, we see the importance of sustaining an unwavering claim, states the communiqué.

Forty years after the recovery of democracy and in recognition of the veterans and Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, we condemn that the Directorate of Gesta is in charge of a person who vindicates his role as war correspondent of the dictatorship, with what that meant for all the people and, especially, for the relatives of the fallen in defense of sovereignty, it concludes.
