(Photo : Archive Impulse ) 110 years ago, The Impulse has not stopped running for a single day in Venezuela , but in three weeks this may change. As has happened with several newspapers, currency shortage has impacted your main input : paper. Since 110 years ago , every day at 4:00 am , kiosks Lara , one of the 24 federal states of Venezuela - offer between their journals The Pulse , the countrys oldest newspaper governing Nicolas Maduro . In fact, one of the most biased economic provisions of the Chavez regime following model has commanded the firing squad to The Pulse , as has happened with several newspapers . The shortage of foreign exchange has impacted your main input : the role , which would make it the oldest newspaper in the Bolivarian nation stop printing . Turns out were staying paperless a supposed democracy , says the president of The Pulse , Carlos Eduardo Carmona. Although we hate to admit it , newspaper of your family have the hours counted . - How long is in charge of The Pulse ? Im in charge for seven years as president and 31 years in various positions ago. This is a family business . I went from a motorized administrator, public relations, and so on. And following the death of my father [ Juan Manuel Carmona ] , seven years ago, my brothers put me under the responsibility of the presidency. - What will happen in a couple of weeks with daily ? In three weeks, if we are to be successful , the idea is not to close and not have date of death, is not provided a date of death. We are exhausting all possible instances . So either we have to reduce it to two pages , I would not mind as long as continue to run . But the situation is so serious that no provider wants to send paper to Venezuela until the different debts are paid. - Okay, but after three weeks not even the idea of driving with a daily two pages would be possible , right? Its totally true, but it is a way of trying to circumvent the scenario that I do not want to raise . Youre watching a reality before your eyes : ll fall into the abyss , but you refuse to fall yet. Actually it would be very easy to say : look, we close , I do not know what will happen next, but the countrys oldest newspaper closes. We assume that society is going to bother much because they are financing a means by his way of saying the truth. And no president seems to like to be told the truth . - How is facing potential closure of the newspaper? Since September last year we have been reduced . We went from 32-28 pages first , and so on. Remove the magazine , some things on the cover. Finally we come to sixteen [ pages ] , one body. But anyway , are emergency measures. Keeps a story in which we placed all this dates so readers know. - Will go to institutions of international justice? It has requested an injunction , a legal measure managed through local courts to resolve these short term. Taking this step is required to go to international locations . I have to keep this in either the Commission on Human Rights and the UN , but I have to take the first step which is the denial of justice. Therefore, I have to ask for your support and thus a record of the refusal. The closure of the newspaper , if it comes to pass, that would be evidence . - The Pulse has experienced another episode that has avizorado closure before being threatened by a shortage of paper? Six years ago , returning from a meeting of the Inter American Press Association , which severely question what was happening in Venezuela , we were sent to Seniat , which is the regulatory body fees. This body made a lightning research and inspection in three hours we found three faults that are still on demand , because I contrademandé the three faults. Then they ordered the closure of the newspaper for 24 hours. What we did was print the newspaper, another newspaper friend, then we move to the next day at five oclock. It was the first major retaliation. - How many people work in The Pulse ? We have 290 workers on the payroll. Between 42 journalists, 18 photographers and the rest are administrative . There is a much longer chain , distributors and newsagents , which will also be affected . Of the 290 , which has been raised, if you get to the end result , it would be technical one is that we should reduce ourselves to the website and try to see when the next boat would [ paper ] to circulate again. Everything will depend on the goodwill of President Maduro . But 70% will reduce staff. - What about the readers the day after the closing? I think people refuse to imagine that day. I do not know how to bear misinformation. So march in support of freedom of the media . - If I had to summarize what happens with The Pulse in a headline , what would it be ? Obviously , start with the word mature . Mr. Maduro , under its responsibility , our closure . That would be
