Thank you Argenis Martinez
Wisdom has, among so many gifts, the patience or tranquility to speak and teach. Oh, also humor.
Argenis Martínez had that wisdom and that is why it was a lesson to talk with him.

Argenis Martínez was not only a great journalist, who anticipated events. He, above all else, embodied the indomitable spirit of El Nacional. That is why his transcendence, that is why his historical importance in Venezuelan journalism.
