In the bulletin published this March 31st<\/a>The non-profit free speech and digital rights organization, Article 19, took a stand against comments made by Mexican President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador during his morning conference saying that Article 19 was \"supported by the foreigner\" belonging to \"the conservative movement\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, the NGO points out that: \"What happened at the conference on March 31 is another example of a growing intolerance of criticism and uncomfortable information for the federal government. Article 19, along with the news outlet Aristegui Noticias and the digital laboratory Signa Lab of the Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO), which belongs to the Jesuit University of Guadalajara, revealed \"a network of cyber attacks against government critics orchestrated by the management of Notimex,\" headed by Sanjuana Mart\u00ednez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Article 19 considers that the president's \"labels are simplistic and reflect intolerance of the work of those who seek to call power to account\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also reminded Mexican President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador that the objective of Article 19 is \"the need for a free citizenry to express itself without intimidation or violence and to call those in power to account\" and that this objective is based on \"banners that were also part of the agenda that L\u00f3pez Obrador raised during his presidential campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We view with concern the way in which the president has moved away from the attributes of a democratic society,\" says Article 19 and reiterates, \"What worries us is that Mexico is falling into the same,\" regarding the intolerance shown in the morning conference of Mexican President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bulletin is signed by Santiago Corcuera, Laritza Diversent, Javier Garza Ramos, Adri\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, Adela Navarro Bello, Michael Reed Hurtado and Gabriela Warkentin. Additionally, the NGO called on the president of Mexico, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, to \"verify there that there are no \"foreign companies\" financing their activities, but foundations and governments that support civil society projects in dozens of countries around the world\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Article 19 reiterates its role in \"defending journalists from harassment by the powers that be and ensuring citizens' access to public information and communication technologies free from censorship\".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
