This news makes me very sad.
Roberto Giusti was a true teacher for me.Starting my degree, I decided to do an internship at the Miraflores Press Department, a few months before the dismissal of CAP due to the secret departure case. Giusti taught me a lot https://t.co/DRfOvRACQH

Journalism loses a great professional with the death of Roberto Giusti. And I have lost a being that I loved. Someone with whom I shared moments that still accompany me in my life, on my personal and professional path. I hug you wherever you are, dear Roberto.
