“If that is through a media law, without a doubt it has to be done. If that is through effectively providing, empowering the organizations that already exist, we have to provide them, we have to empower them,” he added.
Minister Vallejo said that Zerán will take office on April 11, and not on the first day of the month as had been commented on in the media.
