Later the same day, La Nación posted about the bereavement of one of its staff members: “Greivin Porras, analista arbitral de ‘La Nación’, está de luto https://t.co/LXKUYGBUxD”, announcing that Greivin Porras, an arbitration analyst for the publication, is mourning.
In another post on May 3, 2026, La Nación addressed growing concerns regarding press freedom: “Retiro de visas a directivos de ‘La Nación’ genera cobertura de medios internacionales y alertas sobre libertad de prensa https://t.co/0nfLw13XBn”. The tweet notes that the withdrawal of visas from its executives has led to coverage by international media and raised alarms about freedom of the press.
