In the North Hall of the Auditorium, Horacio Alvarez Saviñón at Universidad Nacional Pedro Henriquez Urena (UNPHU), the journalist, history researcher, and writer Miguel Guerrero published the work “’ Check’ to Freedom. The right of no association”.
The book tells the fight the communication means between 1975 and 1991 against the efforts of the National Union of Professional Journalists (SNPP) for establishing compulsory enrollment as a requirement for the performing of the profession of journalism.
During his intervention, the writer indicated: “The work questions the compulsory enrollment for journalism and other liberal professions because the right of association implies the right to not association too.”
This sixteenth work of Guerrero, one of the “At the Edge of Chaos,” received the National History Award in year 200 and the Eduardo Leon Jimenez award for the best work in that year at the International Book Fair.
The event was supported by the Dominican Academy of History, from which Guerrero is one of the Number Members and with Multimedios del Caribe.
