In his message to mark World Press Freedom Day today, European Union (EU) Ambassador Fernando Ponz Cantó reaffirmed the EU’s commitment to defend press freedom noting that it is a pillar of democracy which led to the declaration of results for the March 2020 General Elections in Guyana.
“I want to highlight and comment on the important role that press and media in Guyana played, in particular, during the general elections of 2020. (This) was fundamental and this was essential in this important process which led finally to the declaration of results,” Canto stated before saying that the Guyanese media has been playing a fundamental role in promoting progress across the board.
