Mexican president under investigation for revealing journalist's number on television. He is now the subject of an investigation by the Mexican data protection agency.
During his usual press conference broadcast on television, Andrés Manuel López Obrador gave live the cell phone number of a New York Times journalist based in Mexico. Revealing the number is a “worrying and unacceptable tactic on the part of a world leader at a time when threats against journalists are increasing,” deplores the New Yorker. Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries for the press.
