Abstract
Hay un consenso en la doctrina y en la jurisprudencia en torno a las libertades de expresión e información como fundamento nuclear de los sistemas democráticos. Efectivamente, es necesario que exista un pluralismo de mensajes en el seno de la sociedad para que los individuos consigan participar del gobierno, tanto de forma directa como indirecta. La autonomía personal solo es una realidad cuando las personas tienen acceso a una diversidad de ideas contrapuestas, además de informaciones sobre los hechos relevantes que ocurren en nuestro mundo globalizado. En la sociedad de la información en que vivimos hoy en día, los medios de comunicación social ocupan una importancia cada vez más relevante en la consolidación y desarrollo de nuestras libertades. El pluralismo de mensajes y la democracia son valores que están indisolublemente ligados a la actividad comunicativa de estos medios. Valores que necesitan ser resguardados a través de instrumentos eficaces que eviten o restrinjan los abusos que puedan consentirse desde las empresas mediáticas. Además de la aplicación de diversas políticas purificadoras del Estado democrático, el derecho de acceso es, sin duda, un excelente modo de alcanzar este objetivo, así como uno de los menos traumáticos para la libertad de expresión e información. De hecho, el derecho aquí tratado se refiere a la facultad que tienen los diversos grupos sociales de disponer de espacios en la programación de los medios de comunicación con el fin de difundir sus mensajes. La constitucionalización del derecho de acceso de los grupos sociales en Portugal, España, Rumanía, Chipre, Ecuador y Paraguay todavía no ha sido observada por los demás países de Europa y América del Sur. Efectivamente, a pesar de la importancia de este derecho y de ser un instrumento eficaz para pluralizar el mercado de ideas, no es difícil concluir que no ha tenido un desarrollo compatible con su finalidad...
There is a consensus on doctrine and jurisprudence on freedom of expression and information as a core foundation of democratic systems. Indeed, there needs to be a pluralism of posts within society for individuals to get involved with the government, both directly and indirectly. Personal autonomy is only a reality when people have access to a variety of counter ideas, in addition to information on relevant events occurring in our globalized world. Within the information society we live in today, the media plays an increasingly important role in the consolidation and development of our freedoms. The pluralism of messages and the democracy are values that are inextricably linked to the communicative activity of these media. Those are values that need to be safeguarded through effective instruments, in order to prevent or restrict the abuses that the media can produce. In addition to the implementation of various purifying policies for the democratic state, the right of access is undoubtedly an excellent way to achieve this goal, and one of the least traumatic for freedom of expression and information. In fact, the right discussed here relates to the possibility of various social groups that make up a given society to have a space in the programming of the media in order to disseminate their thoughts and information related to their interests. It is perceived that making the right of access of social groups constitutional in Portugal, Spain, Romania, Cyprus, Ecuador and Paraguay have not yet invited the other countries of Europe and South America to include it in their Constitutions. Despite the importance of the right of access and its being an effective tool to pluralize the marketplace of ideas, it is not difficult to conclude that it has not had a development consistent with its purpose. In this context, observing the factual and legal situation which prevails in Brazil, we have the firm conviction of the need to establish a legal framework that provides the full development of the right of access of social groups...
