In a statement, the agency explained that the decision was based on a report from the Council for Regulation and Development of Information and Communication, according to which âin one of the radio’s opinion programs, one of its participants allegedly incited the chaos and the paralysis of public servicesâ.
âHe also noted that the measure came after a notification from the Ministry of Communication of the Presidency of the Republic to prevent the transmission of its programming on a regular basis and required that it be attached to the FM Public Radio signal immediatelyâ, Prensa Latina said.
Protests continued in Wednesday in Quito and now marches were also held in Guayaquil, where President LenĂn Moreno moved, escaping from the protests in the capital city.
