Thanks to the support of various international organizations dedicated to defending freedom of the press, the Colombian journalist Julián Martínez stayed in Buenos Aires under temporary asylum. In his home country, he is subject to harassment, surveillance and threats because of the work he does. In Buenos Aires, he was able to continue his work without the need for a police guard. CADAL took advantage of this opportunity to invite him to participate in several activities.
On Thursday, June 23, Julián Martínez gave a talk to students from the College of Communication at the main campus of Austral University in Pilar.
Martínez was interviewed by his colleague Jorge Elías about the Colombian presidential elections in the CADALTV series "Cuarto de Hora".
Julián F. Martínez was born in Bogotá in 1988. He is an investigative journalist. He was a reporter for Contravía between 2008 and 2011, and for the bulletin Noticias Uno from 2007-2011.

He also directs the YouTube channel Contrapoder, where he chronicles the stories of powerful people.
