La Hora newspaper exercises its right of “resistance” before the SuperCom

Diario La Hora declared itself in Resistance. This, after the Superintendency of Information and Communication (SuperCom for its Spanish acronym), determined that the print media breached Setion 60 of the Organic Law of Communication (LOC for its Spanish acronym), which refers to the identification and classification of content types.

On March 18 of 2015, the SuperCom imposed La Hora newspaper a fine equivalent to five unified basic salaries.

A statement of the newspaper says: “In full exercise of our constitutional law, laid down in Setion 98 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, we exercise the right of resistance against a punitive resolution that violates our constitutional rights and the due process.”
