In the words of the alliance, neoliberal action seeks censorship and undermines the right to inform and be informed. ALBA assures that the elimination of teleSUR only shows the will to suppress the freedom of the Argentine people.

“Televisora del Sur (teleSUR) was created as an alternative instrument to promote the dissemination of the realities of the peoples of the South in their processes of integration and shared development,” added ALBA.

The Bolivarian coalition also highlighted the importance of teleSUR nowadays, being “one of the most respected and consulted sources of information in the Americas and the whole world”.
