In a new attack on freedom of expression, the European Union blocked La Derecha Diario on all networks and devices of the European Parliament. The measure included the addition of the Argentine portal to "a blacklist of the computer emergency response team".
The authoritarian decision was made under the argument of protecting against "malicious sites". This measure prevents legislators and staff of the institution from accessing the outlet's content, in a clear act of left-wing censorship.
Censura: La Unión Europea bloqueó a La Derecha Diario en el Parlamento Europeo
The case of Brazil
After the inauguration of dictator Lula da Silva, La Derecha Diario was also the victim of direct censorship in Brazil, becoming the first foreign portal blocked by court order in that country. The measure was promoted by Lula's ally, judge Alexandre de Moraes, a central figure of the Supreme Court, as part of an offensive by the Brazilian socialist regime against critical and independent voices.
The censorship replied to the publication of articles presenting evidence of fraud in the latest Brazilian elections. Subsequently, with Elon Musk's arrival at the helm of the social network X, and his refusal to remove opposition accounts, the blocking and censorship by dictator Lula expanded to the entire platform, further affecting the dissemination of content in Brazilian territory, although that measure was later reversed due to social pressure.

Leaked documents, known as the "January 8 Files", reveal a systematic plan of persecution against journalists, media outlets, and opposition protesters by Lula da Silva's regime.
With this new case in the European Union, the censorship of La Derecha Diario represents a serious attack on freedom of the press and expression, setting a worrying precedent for independent journalism.
