More than a dozen homemade banners disparaging Clarín editor Juan Cruz Sanz are appearing over streets in his hometown of Rio Gallegos, Clarín reports.
The banners, which refer to the journalist as Clarín's "slave" and accuse him of lying, are emblazoned with the name of the Santa Cruz chapter of the political party Front for Victory (El Frente para la Victoria de Santa Cruz). The governor of Santa Cruz, however, denied the party had any connection to the banners.
The Independent Journalistic Organization of Santa Cruz is reporting that Rudy Ulloa Igor, multimedia businessman and friend of ex-president Néstor Kirchner, is behind the banners.
