ECUADOR: Deputies pass reform to contentious media law
Ecuador’s national assembly voted on 18 December in favour of a series of reforms to the controversial communications law introduced by former president Rafael Correa (2007-2017) in 2013. After eight hours of debate, the assembly passed the reform project with 75 votes for, 25 against, and seven abstentions. It will now be passed on to President Lenín Moreno, who can either grant his approval or return it to the assembly with his objections.
