MARIO BETETA NO TIENE RESPETO por el ejercicio periodístico, asegura NANCY FLORES tras AGRESIÓN

Today we have a very peculiar case that is part of these journalistic forms that, from my point of view, are going downwards and are no longer those that correspond to the reality that the host of a program on Radio Formula lives in Mexico and that He also participates in other media Oscar Mario Beteta had a very peculiar presence yesterday on social networks because it became a trend due to the response he gave to Nancy Flores, chief information reporter of the magazine Contralínea directed by Miguel Badillo, a magazine as you know. Here we have indicated many times our respect and our adherence to the form and journalistic style of this magazine that does total investigative journalism that at the end of the talk in a very cutting talk and with a tone that was too authoritarian and arrogant, Óscar Mario Beteta ended up saying Nancy, shut up, you old idiot, that was the call, Nancy Flores is with us and I thank her for being able to talk about the issue, Nancy, good afternoon, thank you, July, thank you to your audience, too, for listening.

I am very saddened that in a context of so much violence against women where we have a case as terrible as that of the girl Fatima, well, I come to talk about a case of mine, not above all because right here we have discussed that the journalist should not be the story; however, it seems to me that all types of violence exist. There is nothing to make visible in this case because it is a violence that I suffered yesterday but I want to give you a brief account of what is happening that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that he had documents that proved the corruption of journalists from media with the previous government with the government of Enrique Peña Nieto, since I have given myself the task of investigating this issue, I have not been one of the journalists who have followed up on this, covering press conferences and also investigating this information, this is what I did.

July was to request, through the law of transparency and access to government public information, those documents that the presidency has talked so much about, specifically to find out what they keep in the basements of the presidency of the national palace about these sometimes healthy relationships. sometimes not so much not about all this that the president has pointed out as the journalists who slander that they sold their spaces in that context there is this investigation that is ongoing right now because I have not concluded it in fact I have not published it and well first Once they give me a file, I have authorization from the director of Miguel Badillo's contralínea to give you some information, obviously not everything, not because that is our exclusive, everything, yes no no no, this file that they give me is 800 pages long with documents of these types. companies are 43 linked to columnists to journalists in some cases to media outlets so I review that information I am first systematizing it then comes another process in the journalistic issue that has to do not with the hiring itself but with the confrontation of the information because I do not need the actors that appear there or the companies that appear there to tell me that this information is real, it is true because it is approved, it comes from the presidency.

They spoke with in a long process that in the end the inai forced the presidency to hand it over not but rather give the opportunity to those who appear there to give me their version regarding that information that is there, not in those eights in those 800 sheets that I have, so I spoke with several, no, he is not the only one I called prior to this publication. I spoke to your office of commentators and associates on Friday, sc, that is your company, that is where I left my message where I requested this information, that is the context requested, a journalistic interview about the sale of content that, let's say, the presidency has indicated in the context of the information that the presidency of the republic gives me, well, that's it, we left off on Monday, yesterday, he calls me back, his office gives me back what we assigned to obviously specify if you are talking to Oscar Mario Beteta's company, content and communications is considered moment several comments from commentators and associates, I suppose it is because he sells or receives or received government advertising to use in his radio spaces, if you want, let's talk about that right now, I would like to get into the topic of the call about this whole matter that he will return to me on Monday. that call, then her assistant or her collaborator named Gloria Romo gets in touch.

She calls me and tells me Mr. Óscar Mario Beteta is on the line and well, what are you doing? You are a journalist. You have an agreed interview with that person that you request. You already presented the issue previously before he took your call, that's what happened to me, well of course I told him yes, I put the speaker on and turned on my recorder without any treachery and without any advantage July because he decided at the time he called me he decided the moment in which he marked me and if I had not had my recorder at that moment I simply could not have told myself that it is for the interview what do you do when giving an interview in a cancel because there is I don't bring my recorder excuse me if I can marking in 10 minutes is a journalist option no so I start the conversation with him and he starts in a super aggressive way from the beginning to yell at me no he doesn't have time well you have the audio yes in fact if you want we can listen to this specific audio that is It relates to that ending because of an outburst we can hear it production go ahead please today less good afternoon Oscar Mario like this tell me look I have a file that the presidency gave me there was transparency after the inah and forced them to give it to me otherwise tell you that against the trip it's your turn it's a magazine if you don't have time I would ask you to take my call at some point when you have time thank you very much it's directed by Miguel Badillo you want me to know what you need I won't tell you if you don't have time when you have time to take my call when it's much better and I don't work for you either howse shut up old asshole shut up old asshole that's what journalist Oscar Mario Beteta says we've already heard it please go ahead

well daughter I missed me when I was on someone's call I don't know imagine that a person is going to be so aggressive, not that he is going to say this outburst as he describes it as actually rude, not what he says is nonsense, everyone could hear it at this moment, don't finish by hanging up this call, well, you You can imagine yourself not nervous with this burden that one has after suffering a type of violence of this nature, not when the only thing I wanted July was to confront my information when the only thing I had asked for was a journalistic interview when I had identified myself as a journalist who had these 800-page documents and where her company appears when the only thing I did was my job and in this context this man answers me like this.

I can't imagine that I would have spoken to him with this same tone and with these same words for For example, my director, Miguel Badillo, I can't imagine that he would have addressed any other male journalist like that, I can't imagine that he would address businessmen like that, politicians who are asked for journalistic interviews, that's not the time we live in after This is how I feel, not good, I did have this feeling of indignation to a certain extent, like when you feel so helpless over something that just happened to you, I devalued the fact that it was necessary to make these other forms of violence visible and I uploaded it to my social network.

Twitter I did not do it because we women cannot allow ourselves to be treated like this by anyone regardless of whether I am a journalist or not no one should treat me like this I never ever disrespected this person this man I never spoke badly to him I did not address him in any way rude or despotic manner, the only thing I asked of him was a journalistic interview and that has to be very clear July because I was practicing the profession of journalism and he has no respect for the journalistic practice, no respect now, what would I ask of him?

Well, really, don't address female colleagues like that, fellow journalists, be respectful of the profession, be respectful of women, no one has to suffer this type of humiliation, this violence, no, that is, not because we are journalists or simply because we are not. because we do not have to live in a violent world we need a Mexico that respects women that respects the journalists who do research what we are left with is this voice this right to information we are here for the right to information to know the truth and in this search for the truth is that I asked him for this interview not because you can't go with a single source you have to open your range of sources not now he in his supposed apology today in his supposed apology that he also calls it a clarification of the call that Yesterday I told him several lies that I would also like to address here, July, look, he says that I spoke to his office yesterday and that is a lie.

I spoke to his office on Friday morning with Gloria Romo and I explained to him what the matter was clearly, I told him, I told him. It is because I have information from commentators and associates where the journalist Oscar Mario Beteta offered his mentions on social networks at a cost of 15 thousand pesos and I am telling you this July before the publication of the report because Miguel Badillo authorized me these these mentions if you bought more than one then he made you like a kind of wholesaler and the client was the government or anyone who bought him these mentions are networks his social networks and messages that he put messages and in this offer he made he said that the language with which they were Those messages had to be like the one he uses, that is, with the same intonation, his style, the style of the journalist Óscar Mario Beteta, if they had to be written about that, he wanted the interview Julio, in which, well, you already heard and the entire audience heard that He ends up calling me an old idiot, I'm not there or is that what he had said then first lie he says that I spoke yesterday morning and that he called me back he doesn't clarify in how many minutes the truth is that it was three days from Friday to Monday, as I tell you I explained this situation to him, the information I had says that my bad intention is approved from the moment I illegally recorded with all the treachery and advantage before starting the conversation, the only treachery and advantage whoever had it was why he chose him.

The time and day he called me back, no one previously told me he's going to talk to you right now, Óscar Mario Beteta, his secretary or his assistant Gloria Romo spoke to me and he linked it to me immediately, of course I was ready and I had my recorder there because I am a journalist because I do have fiction, no, then he says that he receives extortion calls all the time from threats that he is threatened with death that he faces smear campaigns. I just tell the man that there is no such thing, nor did I threaten him or call him. to threaten him or call him to extort him at no time did I disrespect him I never insulted him I never referred to him in a violent way like he did it with me he did insult me ​​and he was not part of any smear campaign either I am doing a job who, like many journalists, follows up on this criticism made by President López Obrador that in the past the content of journalists and the media was sold and I wanted to document this situation because society has the right to Knowing is a human right, we have the right to know how the public budget is used and these resources that are used in official advertising are public resources, but not only that.

In July, we have also talked here about how journalists should have public scrutiny of how they You should review your work because why are they precisely exercising this right to information for the entire society because the right to information does not belong to journalists so if content is being sold I mean that lies or advertising or propaganda are being spread and that We all have the right to know as Mexicans, if he also used public resources, then he says that it is a brutal violation of his privacy, no, it is nothing to tell him that I did not violate anything, nor was it an intimate conversation, much less did I ask him for an interview. journalistic and I repeat it here I never lied I did not say that I was another person nor did I assume another profession I clearly said I am a counter-line journalist I always identified myself and said what the reason for this conversation was and it was in the sense of requesting an interview prior to the publication of this report No, now he also says that this brutal violation of his privacy occurs with an illegal recording.

Today I spoke with my lawyer Horacio Gómez Mendieta to ask him if this was true, if it is a brutal violation of his privacy, not if I had committed it. I am clear that he did not commit any ethical misconduct because I asked him for a journalistic interview and in that context everyone knows that a journalist has work tools and those are his notebook, his pen, his recorder, his video camera, now his cell phone because they also record video. They record audio, etc., and also our computers. Those are the work tools of a journalist. If Oscar Mario Beteta doesn't know it, that's his problem, but those are any journalist who knows it.

People who know journalists know it. They know that this is how we work in the profession. Although I had not committed any ethical misconduct, on the contrary I was asking to verify this information prior to its publication and to ask the legal part with my lawyer Horacio Gómez Mendieta to tell me if I had committed anyillegality in recording this conversation and what he tells me is no, that is, even if I were not a journalist, even if I were and I had not said it, I was going to record it, it was a journalistic interview, even if that had not happened, I have every right to record my conversations and broadcast them because they are conversations in that sense July I have not committed any illegality I have been respectful of this man of all my investigations of all the people with whom I have always asked for interviews all the time I have conducted in an honest ethical manner and there is my job so that anyone can come in and supervise it, watch it etc. as is his job too, not because here we are no longer in the times where those who held the microphones had the truth in their hands and it was The only truth is that it is already over and yesterday it was demonstrated in this exhibition of this audio where people responded in solidarity, which I am very grateful to all my colleagues who also responded in solidarity with me.

I am also very grateful to you, July, for the words that you made in your video talk in this space because it is not worth it that they treat us like this as women it is not worth it that they treat us like that as journalists and it is not worth it that we are in a situation of so much attention and so much violence in this country that must be change July thank you very much
