Given the controversial scandal over a trip to Lago Escondido by judges, magistrates, officials and members of the Group Clarion, financed by the organization, the workers of the media repudiated this fact.
Through its social networks, the Internal Commission issued a statement in which it stated: “those of us who work in Clarion we are not the company”, they also question the payment of the ostentatious trip by the company.
In this sense, they remarked that as workers of the Clarion they do not have “control over corporate decisions” and they stressed that they have much less decision-making power over the assets of the business group.
Within this framework, the workers stressed that this is a “company that condemns a majority to live with wages below the poverty line”since, as workers, they have terrible salary conditions.
“It is reprehensible that, given our extremely poor salary situation, the Group Clarion direct funds (which should go to pay decent salaries) to finance onerous expenses of its directors and of judges and politicians in meetings that are part of an illegal and ethically questionable lobby”, they indicated.
The employees, in addition to questioning the payment for the trip to Bariloche, also remarked that it is “part of an illegal lobby”, with which they also made it clear that these decisions of the business group they have nothing to do with their work as journalists.
In this way, the workers expressed their rejection of the trip that the group’s directors would have made last October Clarion Pablo Casey, nephew of Héctor Magnetto; Jorge Rendo, director of Foreign Affairs, together with Buenos Aires officials, magistrates and a former agent of the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI) at a property owned by the English magnate Joe Lewis in Lago Escondido, Bariloche.
The Bariloche prosecutor charged all those involved
This Wednesday, Bariloche prosecutor María Cándida Etchepare accused the magistrates, prosecutors, officials and members of Grupo Clarín who made a private trip to Lago Escondido.
This, given that not only was it verified that those involved made said visit to the mansion of the English tycoon, but the invoices they presented to try to justify the expenses present inconsistencies, for which an investigation will be initiated into the case.
