Ecuadorian Journalist Day, a date to remember the victims of violence and covid-19
But it is also a date to remember the journalistic team of the newspaper
El Comercio , which was assassinated at the hands of dissidents from the Oliver Sinisterra front, in Colombia. We cannot forget their names (Javier Ortega, Paúl Rivas and Efraín Segarra), and the mark they left on the country and on their colleagues.
