Luisa Mar铆a Alcalde defends government's technical analysis of media outlets against accusations of intimidation by Joaqu铆n L贸pez-D贸riga

Luisa Mar铆a Alcalde, the legal advisor to the Presidency, defended the federal government's recent analysis of a purported digital amplification network against accusations of intimidation by journalist Joaqu铆n L贸pez-D贸riga. During a live broadcast, Alcalde maintained that the government did not create a 'blacklist' to censor or persecute communicators, but rather provided a technical study on how automated accounts and anonymous profiles amplify specific journalistic content. L贸pez-D贸riga questioned the risks involved when official power identifies and names specific journalists, arguing that such actions could lead to consequences for those who exercise journalism. He requested the government to provide more precise criteria for the inclusion of certain names. In response, Alcalde insisted that there was no need to be afraid, as the analysis was intended to clarify data rather than silence critics. The exchange follows a previous controversy where Alcalde presented a list of journalists and media outlets, including L贸pez-D贸riga, as part of a study on the government of Claudia Sheinbaum.
