CONCENTRATION IN THE PRINT MEDIA The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States bans
monopolies: Article 28: ?In the United Mexican States, monopolies, monopolistic
practices, state monopolies and tax exemptions are prohibited under
the terms and conditions prescribed by law. The same treatment shall
be given to prohibition for the protection of industry. Consequently, the law shall strongly punish, and the authorities
shall vigorously prosecute, any concentration or domination in one
or a few hands of staple consumer items whose intent is to bring
about a rise in prices, any agreement, process or combination of
producers, industrialists, merchants or service businesses that
in any way prevent free competition and cause the consumers to have
to pay exaggerated prices, and in general anything that amounts
to an undue exclusive advantage in favor of one or more given persons
to the detriment of the general public or any social class.? Thus the lengthy Article in the Political Constitution prohibits
monopolies in the various sectors of society.
