Consultation on Communal Media, Alternatives and Communication Law
The Consultation on Communal Media, Alternatives and Communication Bill was part of the popular initiative process, discussion and approval of said Law by the National Assembly. This process began in 2011 with the presentation of the first Draft Bill by the Social Movement of Alternative and Communal Media. Once the project was presented, the Assembly convened a general consultation consisting of a number of participatory mechanisms, including 14 regional meetings and 80 facilitators' meetings. Their contributions were used by the Commission of the People's Power and Media within the Parliament, for the elaboration of the subsequent Draft Bill to be put up for consideration by the plenary of the Assembly. The final text of the Law was approved by the Assembly in 2015.
