Roberto PereiraIPYS legal adviser, doubted that at the meeting Free Peru there is little tolerance for criticism, and he warned that with two bills introduced to coerce journalists, they are thinking about criminalizing the work of the press.
“It seems to me that there is intolerance towards criticism. This is an essential attitude to their concept of politics, incompatible with democracy and freedom of speech. take advantage of this ambiguity and put pressure on journalists to punish them,” he said on the program “Las Cosas Como Son” on RPP.
Secondly, Roberto Pereira It turned out that in recent years Congress that affect freedom of expression.
“All political parties, one more than the other, submitted bills from 2015 to 2021, about 73 legislative initiatives aimed at restricting and negatively affecting freedom of expression. Free Peru This is in line with the ideology they wrote down that they believe in something other than freedom of speech, which is that journalists and the media should only speak their minds about those who believe in what is right,” the specialist said. .
Pereira remembered the case of Cesar Acuña and his lawsuit against a journalist Christopher Acosta for publishing a book about his life. In this sense, he deplored the actions of the APT leader and stated that although the former presidential candidate withdrew his complaint, the damage had already been done.
Regarding the project to force the media to cover the achievements of the government, he stated that this is unacceptable and only happens in Cuba or during the rule of Rafael Correa in Ecuador.
Peru Libre presented two projects against journalism
Peru Libre parliamentarian Segundo Montalvo presented two bills concerning the work of the media.
The first establishes the obligation of public and private media to broadcast for 20 minutes a year the managerial achievements of the central government, regional and municipal authorities. The second concerns punishment in the form of four years of imprisonment for those citizens who are convicted of slander.
The National Association of Journalists (ANP) has described the bill as disproportionate, restrictive and contrary to freedom of expression because it is designed precisely to become an effective prison that could lead to a libel conviction.
As the ANP President explained, over the past 5 years over 150 arbitrary complaints for slandering journalists throughout the country.
