Now that as the President says López Obrador, ‘is in fashion’ censorship worldwide.
Yesterday, Lorenzo Cordova He advanced what many of us feared, the siege (albeit partial) arrived at the federal president’s daily conferences.
????The president called on Mexicans to comment on the measures that the INE is taking and asked if it was correct for the electoral body to seek to silence him.
And if it is good that in Mexico, the people do not have the right to be informed.# Take it ????https://t.co/Q9HWRFvk9N– SinLínea.Mx (@SinLinea_Mx) January 12, 2021
According to the column of Federico Arreola for SDPHe pointed out that there is a trick with which the National Electoral Institute (INE) will find a way not to broadcast press conferences in non-conventional media.
The writer said that Córdova Vianello you are negotiating with social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook y YouTube —Which are not concessioned media— so that they do not broadcast the press conferences of the president of Mexico in full,
“That is the problem, there the catch. If the director of the INE convinces Twitter, Facebook y YouTube that the complete broadcast of López Obrador’s morning hours is illegal, would be a strong blow to the freedom of expression of the president of Mexico, who would thus be prevented from communicating absolutely relevant matters in the first half of 2021 such as the campaigns of vaccination, news about when it will be safe to return to school, emerging sanitary measures and even matters related to public safety ”.
The problem for Mexicans would come, yes Twitter, Facebook y YouTube, by decision of such private companies, they decided at their own risk not to publicize the daily press conferences of President López Obrador.
Arreola points out that the only one who could ask Twitter, Facebook and YouTube not to broadcast “AMLO’s mornings”Would be the INE.
And it seems that it is doing it. Through his column for SDP, he notes that “It is known that Lorenzo Córdova Vianello has met with representatives of the three internet giants to get away with it.”
To be clear, Lorenzo Córdova is not concerned about the full transmissions on the Mexican state television and radio stations: what the head of the INE wants is for the internet companies to block López Obrador.
“It is urgent for Córdova Vianello to clarify that he will not ask Twitter, Facebook and YouTube for this; or it is the Electoral Tribunal that decides, since, judging by its conduct, the INE brings a political agenda and politicking against the 4T ”.
“While it is true, our law prohibits the rulers from carrying out acts of propaganda during electoral campaign periods, however, it does not prohibit mayors, governors, and the president of Mexico from reporting relevant aspects for the government and society. ”, Says Arreola for SDP.
He @GovernmentMX It is the result of the struggle of thousands of Mexicans and of several generations. As a Government, we have the right to inform citizens of the progress of our actions in favor of the collective welfare and the public interest. It is a mandate and a right to inform society????????

Therefore, there is no legal basis for the INE’s decision to veto, as it were, the morning press conferences of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
This morning, after the news of the INE’s attempt to censor the conferences of the chief executive was released, López Obrador said in his press conference that prohibiting the right to information is an offense to freedom of expression.
Following the words of the President of Mexico, the President, Lorenzo CordovaHe pointed out that there was bad information about the morning conferences, however he said that it is not with him, but with the constitution. He assured that censorship is not being sought, but that the media does not fully transmit the famous mornings.
