Association asks TVI suspension of video

The Choose Association complained this Monday to the regulatory entity for the media (ERC) about an anti-abortion video. The association asked the company owner of the TVI to suspend its disclosure.

The Voluntary Pregnancy Interruption Association (IVG) considers that the passage of video “Thank you, mother” as advertising in TVI “represents non -compliance with Law No. 27/2007 – Television Law and audiovisual services on request”.

“We have a lot of people contact us to make a complaint too. They want to make a complaint too,” said Patrícia Cardoso, who created the choice a year ago.

According to Lusa agency, the activist said that the non-profit association will support the complainants and is « producing a video for people who have never contacted such (ERC) can do so. »

To Media Capital, the choice required “to immediately cease the advertising agreement signed with Miguel Millions (Guru Mike Millions) and to remove any mention of the music video”.

« Video, through a false context around IVG’s surgical procedure, makes clear apology to » no « for abortion, a political issue, and is an attack on individual freedom of each woman and pregnant person – widespread by a nationwide television channel, including children and youth, » the association in a statement needs the legal rules that are infringed.

According to the association, the video can be spread “through personal channels (social networks and youtube)”, as “artistic personal material”, but “as advertising material on a television channel, it cannot be allowed to differ such a lie on a procedure guaranteed by Law No. 16/2007, known as the ABORTION LAW”.

« The choice calls for private television channels that assume their social responsibility and the absolute fulfillment of the law, » he says.
