Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Tuesday sent a bill to the lower house of Congress that aims to extinguish the country’s state-owned news agency Notimex.
The agency has “fulfilled its purpose,” the bill text reads, stating that the Notimex model has become obsolete in the current media climate.
“The diversification of sources and outlets that provide information in real time and with possibilities of almost universal access, has shown that we can do without a state information agency,” the text reads.
