“The Andean Foundation for the Observation and Study of the Media (Fundamedios, for its acronym in Spanish) registered a total of 793 attacks against journalists, media outlets, citizens or activists during Lenín Moreno's government. These attacks add up to a total of 1,702 journalists and media who were violated in their right to freedom of expression, press and access to information.
