Overview

• The INE’s Commission of Quejas y Denuncias unanimously dismissed Morena’s request to pull the PAN’s 'Libertades' spot from radio and television.
• The decision found no actionable defamation because the spot’s claims about the telecommunications law belong to protected political opinion.
• In the ad, PAN warns that the real-time geolocation requirement in Article 183 could let authorities spy on conversations without judicial authorization.
• Morena had alleged that the promotional spot contained calumnious, alarmist and misleading content that undermined electoral fairness.
• The ruling affirms broad freedom of expression in campaign advertising and sets a benchmark for regulating political discourse ahead of the 2027 elections.
