Buenos Aires, January 11 (teleSUR-RHC)-- An Argentinean journalist has been fired for his political opinions. In a series of tweets, Victor Hugo Morales said right-wing political and economic actors are seeking to silence his critical views.

The journalist, who hosts programs on a number of private and public outlets including teleSUR, took to Twitter Monday morning to denounce that his program on Radio Continental had been canceled, allegedly at the request of right-wing political and economic actors.

Victor Hugo Morales said: “As of today I no longer have a show, this is what the political right-wing needs to silence voices.” He added that the new administration of President Mauricio Macri is "going after those who bother them too much.”

Morales was fired shortly before going on air. He was given a short amount of air time to bid goodbye to his listeners, which he used as an opportunity to heavily criticize Marci's new right-wing government.

“Mauricio Macri, the mask of the Clarin Group and (Clarin CEO) Magnetto, is in charge of the country,” said Morales on air, referring to the Argentinean media giant Clarin. “This is how things are now, if you don't fall in line with the companies, who tow the line of the government, you cannot continue.”
