Brief
Dinorah Figuera, president of Venezuela’s 2015 National Assembly, said an Inter American Press Association report on the persecution of media outlets provides an important assessment of the country’s communications environment. She said the document will be relevant to a dialogue on freedom of expression and constitutional guarantees expected to begin in September. The source does not detail the report’s findings or identify the participants in the planned talks.
Restrictions on independent media can weaken the quality of information available to investors and increase institutional uncertainty. Whether the September dialogue addresses the report’s concerns with credible constitutional guarantees will help indicate if Venezuela’s information environment and political-risk profile are improving.
