"Four journalists from Venezuela, Cuba, El Salvador and Nicaragua are participating in the fifth Temporary Shelter Program of Reporters Without Borders (RSF, for its acronym in French) in Spain. The program provides them with three months away from their countries to 'disconnect and recover physically and psychologically' from the threats and many other pressures they suffer.

Funded by the Madrid City Council, it is a residency program and a chance to do professional networking.

In the presentation for this edition, one of the journalists participating this year, Gabriela Cáceres, explained that she left El Salvador after receiving threats after publishing stories in El Faro, In those stories, she revealed the negotiations between the government of President Nayib Bukele and criminal gangs."
