Kapuscinski, his supposed filia estaliniana and the pro-Franco journalists

Kapuscinski, in his library The announced publication of a biography of the Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski (1932-2007) has untied a curious polemic. The author of the book, Artur Domoslawski, who was a disciple and personal friend of the biografiado, he affirms, between other things, that Kapuscinski was inventing interviews - for example, with Che Guevara, as he says - and it accuses his teacher of having collaborated with the diet estaliniano that governed Poland from the end of the second world war until the eighties. Well, of entry it is convenient to be prudent and to remember that the time will end up by placing everyone in his place, in addition to which the doubts will clear up in one or another sense - in this case as in so many people others it happens that there are those who are in the hurry to condemn despite the levity, the circunstancialidad or the subjective character of the tests. But of this polemic there is an aspect that pays powerfully the attention: the insistence of certain journalists, columnists and Spanish commentators in bringing in to sack to despise everything all that did, said and wrote Kapuscinski alleging for it that supported a formal relation - more or less narrow, apparently - with the diet estaliniano. The satanización is curious because if Kapuscinski is the villain of the Polish journalism: what epithet or cataloging is it necessary to grant to the Spanish journalists who were accomplices of the pro-Franco authorities, diet on which they weigh tens thousands of deaths, imprisonments, pursuits and political expropriations? There are publishers and journalists without memory...: or blind persons! Abounding in curiosities, there are attitudes of companies of communication or of Spanish journalists that are doubly showy because they keep on editing newspapers or exercising the profession of informing and commenting on facts after having endorsed and praised the fraquismo. Moreover, in Spain there continue in the candlestick - and receiving substantial emoluments - journalists, commentators and columnists who signed support texts to the executions - included those of September, 1975 - and that when the Commander died signed panegyrics qualifying the dictator of "model Christian" or of "defender of the western civilization". From a journalistic optics, it is logical that - if it is confirmed - there are criticized frontalmente the interviews or the reportages that Kapuscinski could have invented; but it turns out shocking that in Spain there are so many journalists and columnists satanizando to a Pole supposedly estaliniano and that, on the contrary, they are quiet and even applaud the companions who were proved defending and even servants of the pro-Franco dictatorship. Kapuscinski might be open to criticism like fallacious journalist - if it is proved what Domoslawski affirms - but it is of any unjustifiable point that pro-Franco journalists or that close the eyes before the pro-Franco horror give lessons of professional ethics looking towards Poland.
