"The Seventh Guarantee Court of Santiago acquitted journalist and former editor of El Ciudadano, Josefa Barraza, of the complaint filed against her by Claudio Vargas Palma, former city council candidate for the National Renewal party in the municipality of Santiago.
The information was provided by the same professional: 'It was proven that there was no defamation and my innocence was confirmed. Long live independent journalism,' she wrote on her X social media account.
At the time, when Vargas filed his lawsuit, various voices again warned about the use of slander and libel against journalists who carry out their investigative and reporting work in general."
