"Paka Paka: More voices, not less."
Freedom of expression implies the possibility of listen to more voices. And indeed, Paka Paka is a voice, silenced by order of a power sector: Grupo Clarin. Paka Paka What? It is the first channel and public education designed by the Ministry of Education's Office for all the guys from Argentina, with content designed to educate and entertain.
In compliance with the Law on Audiovisual Communication Services No. 26,522 and its Regulatory Decree No. 1225/2010, the Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services (AFSCA) issued Resolution 296/2010, by which it established the guidelines for the management of Programming grids. In this context, the Executive Branch Paka Paka signal included in the grid of channels. Despite this, not all licensees complied with the standard. Such is the case of Grupo Clarin, which made court filings to dodge the rules, which were rejected.
Among the main arguments stands the Federal Chamber of Appeals of Bahía Blanca in cases Dorrego Channel 2 Television and Pringles: "It is clear that a licensee has no vested right to an order of television grid, because broadcasting issue is deeply committed to the better or more criteria that the community owns and reserves for itself. " And although to date the Resolution 296 is fully in force, the company has no right Cablevision your grid. With these actions the company does not know a single act that established by the three powers: the law passed by the national legislature, the regulatory standards issued by the National Executive and the decisions of the Judiciary of the Nation.
During the past few days witnessing a scenario in which victimized the Clarin Group, owner of the company just Cablevision and cable operators hundreds of companies within the country. This scenario, created by the same economic group and also had the support of much of the opposition parties, was based on a possible violation of freedom of expression, under an alleged successful block by workers, which prevented the departure day. What you failed to mention is that developed trade union action was carried out by a group of employees Rioplatenses Graphic Arts (also the Clarín Group) and that these persons exercising the right that the Constitution vests in the status of workers.
is imperative to note that freedom of expression is not exclusive to one group, or restricted to the fact that the newspapers out of their deposits. Despite sanctions imposed by the AFSCA, the Clarin Group maintains a ban on the signal Paka Paka, which constitutes a real and effective violation of freedom of expression.
That is why, in pursuit of the existence of full freedom of expression for everyone, not just for the few, which should raise the voices against censorship by the Clarin Group at the expense of this new and innovative television signal. More voices, not less, that's the slogan.
