"The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) expressed its concern over a complaint filed by the ruling Morena party before the National Electoral Institute (INE), seeking the removal of posts and the suspension of content related to 'La Casa de los Mañosos,' an AI-generated political satire produced by third parties and later broadcast during TV Azteca news programs.
The network called the action by Morena, the governing party, an 'attempt at censorship' and maintained that satire and criticism are integral to public debate and free expression. TV Azteca, owned by Grupo Salinas, also stated it will continue to investigate and hold power accountable.
IAPA President Pierre Manigault stated: 'The case raises relevant questions about the limits of electoral authorities' intervention regarding satirical, humorous, and critical content, particularly when involving public officials and political actors.' "
