After President Arce's son denounces YPFB case, Ethics Tribunal issues ruling against Amalia Pando

 After the son of President Luis Arce, Luis Marcelo Arce Mosqueira, filed a complaint before the National Tribunal of Journalistic Ethics (TNEP) of the Association of Journalists of La Paz (APLP) about a case related to YPFB, that body issued a resolution against journalist Amalia Pando.

"That journalist Amalia Pando Vega must observe in her journalistic work the ethical requirement of truthfulness and contextualization of the facts she reports", states point 1 of Resolution 005/2022, which was signed by the members of the Journalistic Ethics Tribunal, issued last April 20.

It also states that journalist Pando must consider the ethical requirement of informative balance, which obliges her to present different facets of the information, consulting both parties and counterparts.

Furthermore, in the spirit of respect for the differentiation between information and opinion, she is recommended to apply this requirement in her journalistic work.

"Within the non-punitive, but ethical scope of the (TNEP), journalist Amalia Pando, and under Article 25, numeral 1, of its Operating Regulations, must ratify through the right to reply the published journalistic note with the pertinent clarifications or formulating the apologies of the case", resolved the Court.

On January 30, journalist Pando, through her program Cabildeó Digital, published the article entitled: "The secret negotiation of Arce's son with Venezuela", in which she pointed out that the eldest son of President Luis Arce traveled in April 2021 to Caracas to negotiate the possibility that the state-owned Petroquímica de Venezuela would take over the Urea Plant operated by YPFB.

The TNEP mentions that Arce Mosqueira's complaint was admitted last March 24, after which both parties were notified.
