The Executive asked a denial on the lawsuit against communications law

The Presidential Legal Secretary, Alexis Mera, placed an order yesterday to the Constitutional Court (CC) to dismiss the complaint made by Assemblyman Luis Fernando Torres (PSC-CREO) against the Communications Law.

“It gives me wonder and amazement that Assemblyman Torres thinks as a constitutional problem to empower citizens with tools to defend their rights and, particularly, to demand that social media to publish truthful, verified, timely, contextualized, plural information, “argued Mera.

Torres raised the complaint last June 28 (three days after the law was accepted) and objected 50 articles on matters of form and 12 for substantive reasons, including prior censorship, the duty to cover and disseminate facts of “public interest”, the media lynching, the powers of the Superintendent of information and the definition of communication as a public service.

Mera presented the response to the lawsuit with a fifteen-page document.
