On Wednesday Wendy Molina, president in charge of the Constitutional Court (CC) confirmed that the plenum of the body is studying the draft judgment on the claims of unconstitutionality against the Communications Law, which is why multiple sessions are being organized for a “deepen into the discussions and criteria and on my own study of the document that has been presented.”

There were three lawsuits against more than 70 items of the law since its adoption on June 25, 2013, the first was introduced by Assemblyman Luis Fernando Torres (PSC-Cambio); the second, by Diego Cornejo, former Assistant Director of the HOY newspaper and current director of the Association of Newspaper Publishers (Aedep for its Spanish acronym) and the third by a professor of the Universidad de San Francisco, Farith Simon.

“After starting the treatment of these actions we will continue at the special meeting in the plenum held on last Tuesday, which was suspended after 6 hours of work and was restarted yesterday morning,” Molina said, adding that the plenum, composed of 9 judges, must not only acknowledge the 280-sheet project, but also analyze and discuss it thoroughly to finally make a decision.
