Article 26 of the aforementioned law imposed on all public entities that “the spending limit of the annual social communication program, as a whole, must not exceed 0.1% of the corresponding annual expenditure budget,” a limit that was also established. for municipalities and entities.
This led the Congress of Guanajuato and various municipalities of Chihuahua, the State of Mexico and other states to allege invasion of their autonomy in unconstitutionality actions filed before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN).
The leader of the federal deputies of Morena, Ignacio Mier Velasco, announced that there will be reforms to the General Law of Social Communication, to eliminate the article and reverse that aspect considered unconstitutional, according to the appeals filed before the Court.
The objective is that “the states and municipalities are allowed to exercise their autonomy and it is they who determine how much they should allocate to the media, something that in the case of the federal government is already defined.
“The law established that this percentage determined at the federal level was extensive, for states and municipalities, and we consider that this violates the sovereignty and autonomy of these levels of government,” he said.
