Representatives of the Inter-American Press Association (IAPA) yesterday stated that “the Media Law in Argentina is not at risk, but its apparent selective application is a cause for concern.”

The Freedom of Speech Committee, headed by Claudio Paolillo, yesterday stated that meetings had been requested with President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and pro-government politicians in Congress but answers had been “either non-existent or negative.”

In terms of how the Law will be applied, Paolillo stated: “If one were to come down from Mars and read the Media Law, one could have different opinions on the issue but what is at stake here is not the content of the law but the apparent selective implementation of it.”
