Mexico denies blacklist of journalists and politicians
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum faces criticism after her chief legal counsel released lists naming journalists, media outlets, and opposition figures accused of contributing to a hostile digital environment against her government. Critics argue the lists act as blacklists that threaten press freedom in a country already dangerous for journalists, with at least 14 killed since she took office. Sheinbaum denies intentions of censorship, claiming the lists aim to expose social media manipulation and false narratives, but many journalists see them as an attempt to undermine independent media. The controversy coincides with her administration’s proposal for new broadcasting guidelines intended to combat “false” information, which critics believe could further restrict press freedom.
