On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will send to Congress reforms to the telecommunications law to prohibit the dissemination of propaganda paid for by foreign governments or organizations in Mexican media.

“The issue is that they are paying for ads with a discriminatory message,” she said, referring to a commercial against illegal immigration sponsored by U.S. National Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Sheinbaum considered that Noem’s commercial, which has been airing on television for months and was broadcast during the weekend’s soccer matches, is discriminatory.

“A message from President Donald Trump to the world: If you’re considering entering America illegally, don’t even think about it. Let me be clear: If you come to our country and break our laws, we will prosecute you. Criminals are not welcome in the U.S.,” the National Security Secretary said.

In response, the Mexican president will seek to revive a section of the Federal Telecommunications Law that was repealed in 2014, during the presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto (2012–2018).

With this, foreign governments will not be allowed to pay either traditional media or social networks to broadcast “propaganda” in Mexico.

“Broadcast and television licensees and permit holders in the country will not be allowed to transmit political, ideological, or commercial propaganda from foreign governments or entities, nor permit the media operating under their licenses to be used for purposes that could influence internal affairs,” it was stated.
