According to the president of the AJOC, the celebration of May 3 is also an opportunity to remind government officials of the need to respect their commitments with regard to the Constitution and the laws of the country in favor of freedom of the press, stressing that the event must be also a day of reflection for media professionals on issues related to freedom of the press and professional ethics.
He said that 2022 had been “very difficult” for the media in Cabo Verde, and noted that the Repórteres Sem Fronteiras (Reporters Without Borders) (RSF) press freedom report published on Wednesday “reflects well this reality” in the archipelago.
