The National Academy of Journalism supported the lawyer who revealed the draft agreement between Milei and Davis for $LIBRA

The National Academy of Journalism in Argentina has voiced its support for lawyer Natalia Volosin, who leaked a draft agreement involving President Javier Milei and cryptocurrency advocate Hayden Davis.

The National Academy of Journalism has come out in support of Natalia Volosin, a lawyer and communicator who disclosed a draft agreement between Argentine President Javier Milei and Hayden Davis, a promoter of the cryptocurrency $LIBRA. This cryptocurrency was heavily advertised by Milei and led to substantial financial losses for investors. Volosin's actions have raised serious questions about the transparency of government dealings in the burgeoning cryptocurrency sector, particularly given the potential implications for investor confidence.

In their statement, the Academy condemned the actions of federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano, urging him to halt what they termed his 'persecution' of Volosin. The Academy's intervention highlights the tension between the judicial system and journalistic entities in Argentina, especially regarding the protection of whistleblowers and the role of the press in exposing critical information that affects public interest. Volosin had revealed that the prosecutor had stalled the investigation into the leaked information, which raises additional concerns about the rule of law and accountability among public officials.

The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for both the media landscape in Argentina and the emerging cryptocurrency market. Given the increasing scrutiny of digital currencies by governments worldwide, this situation underscores the critical need for transparent regulations and protective measures for those who expose malfeasance. As the public awaits further developments, the support for Volosin by the National Academy of Journalism signals a demand for accountability and openness in both governance and media.
