Meanwhile, in Argentina, renowned radio host Víctor Hugo Morales has been ousted from his long-running morning program on Radio Continental amid a crackdown on press freedom under the new right-wing president, Mauricio Macri. Executives ordered Morales off the air Monday, saying his contract had been terminated. Speaking on a colleagues’ program minutes later, Morales said: “This takes place amid a suffocating, terrible situation for democracy and for freedom of expression in Argentina.” Morales’ firing comes amid massive protests against President Macri’s proposed media reforms, which include repealing a law outlawing monopolies by media companies. Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Buenos Aires Tuesday in opposition to Macri’s reforms and in defense of radio host Morales.
