Blow on the table of the sector of the advertising before the policies of the Government.

The Spanish brands of advertisers have sent a face to the president, Pedro Sánchez, to show him "their great concern about the attacks that the sector is suffering."

The warning comes after the initiative of the Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón, to limit the advertising of food products to the child population and also after the restrictions included in the draft of the Audiovisual Communication Law.

The sector, through the Spanish Association of Advertisers (aea), which groups together the entire advertising sector in Spain, has launched the ¡Publicidad, Sí! Platform to highlight "the serious consequences for the advertising sector" of these measures , which impact on "one of the engines of the Spanish economy" precisely "at a critical moment due to the serious consequences that, in economic terms, the pandemic has caused."

In addition to the brands of advertisers, the media and advertising agencies participate in this initiative; all of them criticize

"the unjustified limitations proposed by the Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón, go against the competitiveness of companies.

This fact, together with the restrictions that are also included in the future Audiovisual Communication Law, hinder the digital transformation by establishing regulatory barriers for the development of advertising also in digital audiovisual channels, adopting measures that distance advertising from its environment and make it lose the ability to compete as a sector and as a country ".

This sector generates a business in Spain of more than 18,000 million euros, which represents 3.5% of the entire service sector in the country, and almost 100,000 jobs.

According to data from the National Institute of Statistics,

42,971 companies are part of this industry

.

The signatories of the letter also recall that a few months ago they already presented a manifesto in which they made themselves available to the Government to open

a dialogue on any regulatory growth: "Unfortunately this is not being the case

."

Consequently, advertisers ask the Executive again to create a workspace "that allows jobs to be maintained and that these attacks be put to an end"
