Alejandro Salas, the former Minister of Culture, called “unconstitutional” Bill 2170, which states that radio and television media must dedicate at least 40% of their daily programs to episodes of “national” content.

“Any law that interferes with the content of the media is unconstitutional because freedom of speech is properly enshrined in Political constitution of Peru. Intervention or imposition of content violates the constitutional framework. Any law that ignores content violates freedom of speech,” he said in the program. Things as they are from RPP TV.

Rooms argued that culture could be promoted by strengthening the ministry culture (Minkul) that it has “the lowest budget at the level of ministerial portfolios” and that seeking 40% distribution in media content “is a bad perception” to promote it. “If we want to strengthen the culture of Peru, then let’s not shut down the Ministry of Culture,” he said..

“We must give more importance to the cultural field in relation to the state, and not from the side of intervention in the private, placing such concepts as emerging culture. Based on what we have to work. Ignoring another type of concept to promote culture does not make sense,” he added.

Exhortation to Minkulu

Banks such as Renovación Popular and Avanza País support Bill 2170. In this regard, Salas hopes that the legislative proposal will not be approved by the Congress of the Republic.

With regard to the statements of Minister of Culture Leslie Ortega, who indicated that the government supports this measure, Alejandro Salas believes that he should respect the nature of the minkul in order to manage the promotion of culture in the country.

“He must, as the head of the cultural portfolio, see the very nature of the Ministry of Culture, look for other areas to promote culture. No law that interferes will promote freedom of expression,” he said.

Minister of Culture: “Content is not regulated”

Minister of Culture, Leslie Urteaga, in dialogue with RPP Newsdenied that the said bill establishes regulation content in the media.

“It’s not that the content is regulated (…). The bill attempts to do the following: lift up the quota that already exists in the 2003 law and promotes the national production associated with music, associated with the curtains that are placed between interviews, the coordination that exists with the Peruvians and Peruvians who produce this kind of creations,” he said.

“It’s not that let’s force or that the content is regulated. What is it about promote much more production and willingness to create Peruvians,” he added.

The head of Mincul considered the proposal reasonable, indicating that, in her assessment, Peru is the country with the lowest percentage of the distribution of “national production”.

“Now the percentage is 10%. We are the country in which the smallest percentage is for the promotion of this national content, not necessarily related to the folklore theme. We are talking about all the creativity of the Peruvians, which could bring to the attention of the media,” he said.
