Paraguayan Reporters Demand News Conference with President Hit with Second Paternity Claim Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas April 21, 2009 http://knightcenter.utexas.edu/blog/?q=en/node/3694 Journalists who cover the president protested outside the Government Palace, demanding their customary Tuesday news conference, which was finally postponed until Friday, Última Hora reports. President Fernando Lugo, a former Catholic bishop, was hit Monday (April 20) with a second paternity claim, only a week after he admitted to fathering a child while the Vatican considered him to be ordained. (See more stories here.) Roberto Civita, president of the Brazilian media giant Abril, which publishes Veja magazine, recently said the first case was legitimate news for Paraguay and could lead to other stories about many other aspects of the Catholic Church, including the practice of celibacy, Última Hora reports. |
