Three journalists from the online program “La Barra Noticias” issued a collective public apology to Campeche Governor Layda Elena Sansores San Román on 10 August, complying with a mandate from the Tribunal Electoral del Estado de Campeche. The court found that comments they made on the show constituted “violence política en razón de género” in its digital form. The journalists—Carlos Martínez Caamal, Abraham Martínez and Hubert Carrera Pali—had appealed the ruling, but the Sala Regional Xalapa of the federal electoral tribunal upheld the decision, leaving them no further legal remedy. Each read an identical text drafted by the provincial court, acknowledging that their remarks were offensive, based on gender stereotypes and harmful to Sansores’ political rights. The case adds to a series of recent Mexican court decisions requiring public apologies for gender-based political violence, underscoring the judiciary’s expanding use of corrective measures on digital platforms.
