This Saturday, the specialist revealed evidence that unmistakably links the pseudo-journalist María del Rosario “Charito” Rojas with a WhatsApp group dedicated to defamation and, recently, has embarked on a campaign of discrediting against the rector of the Arturo Michelena University (UAM), Giovanni Nani Lozada.
Burguera unveiled screenshots from the chat held in the shady community named “Los Pepes,” where “Charito” bitterly complained that UAM awarded its Orel Sambrano Recognition to the Arts of Communication to “a defamer who is not even a journalist,” making a poor reference to the established columnist of central Venezuelan region.
He also asserted that Nani Lozada would represent “a shame” for supposedly being “handed over to chavismo.” “He thinks that because he owns the university he can impose his political fanaticism on teachers and students. An aggression that should be reported to human rights organizations. And a clear message to parents and students: a university is ‘universal’, it includes all ideas. Quickly move out of that chavista reform school,” spat “Charito,” showcasing the shameful communicational incapacity that characterizes her.
Rector Giovanni Nani Lozada has already used his social media to confront the grievance he is suffering and stated: “I reserve the right to take action against the administrators of this group. Assume your responsibility.”
And, for his part, Burguera expressed his absolute solidarity to support the leader of Arturo Michelena University and unmask “Charito” Rojas, “the most accurate example of the optimal exercise of exemplary harlots.”
“We unconditionally support Rector Giovanni Nani in this crusade. Especially when the attacks come from fugitives who have made promiscuity their way of life and livelihood. With no reservations!!” César Burguera added: “Absolute solidarity. The fugitives from Panama pretend to teach ethics when they have been the most accurate example of the optimal exercise of exemplary harlots.”

The Intersection of Media, Politics, and Ethics: Emerging Trends in Venezuela
Recent events in Venezuela highlight a growing tension between political commentary and journalistic integrity, as seen in the controversy surrounding political analyst César Burguera and pseudojournalist María del Rosario “Charito” Rojas. Their exchange underscores an increasing trend where personal conflicts in academia and media reflect broader societal divides, especially within turbulent political landscapes.
Burguera’s revelations of Rojas’s involvement in a WhatsApp group dedicated to defaming individuals in positions of power, such as the rector of the University Arturo Michelena, Giovanni Nani Lozada, point to the role of social media as a tool for both informal communication and orchestrated smear campaigns. This duality will likely continue to evolve, with more figures in academia and media utilizing these platforms to assert influence and address grievances publicly.
Moreover, the notion of “journalistic ethics” in Venezuela is at a crossroads. Analysts like Burguera are calling for accountability while denouncing the actions of those who appear to exploit their media presence for personal vendettas. As public trust in traditional media wanes, the rise of alternative media channels and social networks will lead audiences to question the credibility and motives behind information dissemination, potentially fueling further polarization.
The future may also bring more legal battles over defamation and ethical standards as individuals and institutions attempt to protect their reputations from online attacks. Universities could find themselves in a position where they must more clearly delineate their stances on academic freedom versus the responsibilities of their faculty and staff towards public discourse. Stakeholders will have to navigate these complex dynamics carefully to preserve the integrity of educational and journalistic institutions.
As actors on both sides continue to engage in public discourse, the challenge remains: how to balance the freedoms of expression and the ethical responsibilities that come with it in a society grappling with its own narratives and identities.
