Mexico’s president on Friday defended his decision to disclose a reporter’s telephone number, saying a law that prohibits officials from releasing personal information doesn’t apply to him.
Press freedom groups said the president’s decision to make public the phone number of a New York Times reporter Thursday was an attempt to punish critical reporting, and exposed the reporter to potential danger.
Mexico’s law on Protection of Personal Data states “the government will guarantee individuals’ privacy” and sets out punishments for officials and others for “improperly using, taking, publishing, hiding, altering or destroying, fully or partially, personal data.”
I don’t think he is. I don’t think he isn’t. I asked you for your perspective since you live there and felt strongly enough to post what you did. I guess whatever any outsiders think is of no consequence, since outsiders have no right to form any opinion on whatever happens to your country or people, since outsiders obviously have no influence on what they’re governments do or what narratives we accept or reject.
I’m not asking you to not form an opinion. I’m telling you that you’re concluded something about him as a whole based on a single story. You’ve already characterized him in a certain way based on this. Do you realize that? Because it seems that you don’t.
Link to whatever else you think makes him a fascist. Please. Make your point.
