MEXICO: Alarm raised over controversial telecoms bill
On 8 May Mexico’s senate began discussions on a controversial telecommunications and broadcasting reform bill. The government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum submitted and then hastily withdrew the bill from congress in April amid accusations of censorship. Human rights and press freedom groups, industry organisations, and the political opposition have since raised multiple concerns about the bill. The discussions in the senate, which include input from many different groups, seek to address these concerns, with the government indicating it is open to modifying some of the most controversial aspects of the bill.
