Now the document will be in the hands of Correa were he would exercise its right to veto. This would allow the president to introduce changes in the media bill and afterwards the Assembly can pave them or try.

Meanwhile the opposition wanted that the Communication bill was not approved, but rather it gets filed away, but there weren’t enough votes to deny it. Dalo Bucaram, member of PRE political party state that the session was suspended because Alianza Pais didn’t get all the votes they needed to approve the bill. (AV)
