The Boycott of the Right of Reply by the Mexican State

Abstract

After that in 2013 the Constitutional Reform of Telecommunications and Broadcasting demanded to consider the right of reply as an individual right; the October 13, 2015 that right was regulated by Congress with the support of the PRI, PVEM  and most of the PAN . However, this right to regulate the Congress was a great legal fraud against society, as the ‘party prevented citizens reach a real guarantee of response to the recurrent abuses of media power over them. Thus, this regulation was a suit made to measure to defend the monopoly interests of the television and the big radio groups; and not useful to favor citizens who had waited nearly a century to achieve such elementary guarantee instrument.

This Congress demonstrated undergo the powers of the television duopoly again and viciously regulate a fundamental constitutional right of citizens of the XXI century as a tool to protect the economic interests of oligopolistic audiovisual mega corporations in the country, and not as a relevant resource to protect basic communication guarantees of society.
