Away from the political programs and the “crossfire” of the interviews and on social networks, Maritere Braschi has spoken with the media about the new format of ‘Weekly report’ which is now also broadcast on Saturdays, with news focused on gastronomy and tourism. “Social complaints, what is happening on a day-to-day basis, were very welcome, but we received many proposals from the provinces. We said why not make our own space for all this, which is the positive part, besides that it is to preserve customs, get to know each other in our different customs and even languages, geographies. I really love it, because I used to do it many years ago when I started on Sundays, at that time it was ‘Counterpoint’. We did a lot of that, bringing the provinces to the screen. Now it’s a bit of a pick up. I enjoy it very much”.
“I have never been investigated or judged”
The host of ‘Weekly Report’ comments that she prefers not to respond to “armies of trolls”. Since her Twitter account was hacked, she points out, she has not returned to the popular social network. “At that moment I felt very annoyed and frustrated because I already had followers, it worked, but when they hacked me, you don’t know the peace and tranquility I felt from not being in that harmful network, of trolls that you don’t know, who criticize, give their opinion. and they don’t even show their face. Now I check Twitter for a channel account, I need to be updated, it’s not that I don’t see it, but I don’t participate, I don’t have my own account, that’s it! I think we live in very violent times. But I see colleagues who answer and I say: ‘how can they answer a NN, he doesn’t put what he does in life, he puts a pseudonym’”.

In this sense, she responds about the mentions made to her about her ex-husband, who was sentenced for his links with Vladimiro Montesinos. “In general terms, not to go into that detail, whenever someone wants to hurt you they will tell you anything. They call me horrible, dinosaur of journalism, brutal, whatever you want, make me a list of 20 things. I just delete comments that I don’t like. I don’t give answers. I am an absolutely correct person, with a career of more than 30 years and impeccable, I have never been investigated or judged.
For Braschi, the country “is still polarized” by the last elections, but maintains that the press is also under scrutiny. “In a world where there are so many fake news, where the veracity of the vaccine is even questioned… that is, people write to me and tell me that we are paid by the transnationals for the vaccine. There are a number of conspiracy theories that are percolating. So, everything is questioned, everything is questioned and credibility as such is a very undervalued word. I think that now nobody can say ‘I have super credibility’ because just by thinking differently, your credibility is absolutely undermined or dented by a lot of people. And it doesn’t just happen with journalists, it also happens with politicians. We are all under suspicion or under the magnifying glass, that is something already universal.

He says that if he could give the citizens some advice, would be that they seek plurality of opinions. “I do not have the slightest interest right now (in making a political program), in continuing in this crossfire of insults and things, I am quite calm. I think we lack a lot of maturity to be able to exchange ideas safely and calmly. We have to be careful that we can continue working as a free press, right? There will always be the temptation for governments to start placing restrictions on the press and that is what we must not allow. Beyond the fact that there are journalists, whose opinion I do not share, I prefer it to be that way than that we all have the same speech. It’s good that there are journalists with different political opinions, that’s what the balance of powersThat is our job.”
