The withdrawal, made without a final and unappealable decision and without any hearing to hear Repórter Brasil is censorship, as it violates press freedom, a premise of the democratic State provided for in article 5, item IX of the Constitution. In addition, 'no law shall contain a provision that may constitute an obstacle to full freedom of journalistic information in any media outlet,' article 220 of the Constitution also states."
