The National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) filed on Friday a new administrative proceeding, the fifth one in less than six months, against private news TV channel Globovisión.

This time, the grounds were broadcast of spots in favor of private property identified by NGOs Asoesfuerzo and Cedice.

At the time of service of the notice at the channel headquarters by Conatel's officials, Globovisión legal counsel Ana Cristina Núñez reported that the action is premised on alleged violation of article 29, Radio and TV Social Responsibility Law.

The article makes reference to solicitation to break law and order and damage to the national security.

As previously formerly during a press conference by Minister of Telecommunications Diosdado Cabello, the proceeding came together with a precautionary measure to stop airing the spots immediately.

Núñez fears that any decision to admit two out of the five charges may lead to the termination of the broadcast concession.
