Public vilification against media outlets

DATE POSTED : 13.06.2023

Expression

On 23rd May 2023, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice condemned the verbal attacks made by President Rodrigo Chaves Robles and the former Minister of Health Joselyn Chacón Madrigal against the media outlets La Nación, Telenoticias, CRHoy.com. Journalists from these outlets had asked the two officials about the alleged use of fake accounts to attack journalists and critics online, to which the public officials replied by accusing these media of being "political hitmen". In its ruling, the Constitutional Chamber determined that certain expressions and words could ignite further harassment of the media and journalists which had been attacked.
