On Friday in Mexico City, organization "Creamos México" delivered 150,200 signatures to television network Televisa, asking for the immediate firing of Peruvian host Laura Bozzo.
According to informative website Progreso Hoy, the organization demands that Bozzo be banned from Mexican television after pretending to be a part of a rescue crew to raise the ratings for her show during the natural disasters that affected the state of Guerrero.
Three representatives of the organization delivered the boxes filled with signed petitions to the network and Jesús Manuel Acuña Méndez, president of Creamos México, an organization founded in the state of Sonora, said, "We will keep an eye on whether Televisa will choose vulgarity or quality. With the delivery of these signatures, the ball is in their court".
The boxes were not received since one of Televisa's employees said "I'm not allowed to receive them and if you want to leave them, I won't sign for them." The employee asked them, under orders of Mr. Emilio Azcárraga, president of Televisa, to deliver the boxes directly to the production team of Laura Bozzo's show.
The leader of Creamos México reported that many employees refused to receive the petitions, and assured that Bozzo "is the symbol of vulgarity and morbidity. They can't have a double standard, saying they support quality education if they have these shows educating people".
Website SDP Noticias shared pictures of the delivery of the boxes, which were inscribed with the slogan "Fire Bozzo; we need more and better educational shows, not [shows] to make us dumber".
The delivery was also witnessed by a representative of organization Change.org México, Ana Laura Lozano Hernández, who added "when we saw her montage (Bozzo's in Guerrero) we thought it was excessive, obscene, we talked about it and decided to launch the petition".
Progreso Hoy points out that the petition gathered more than 100,000 signatures against the host of Televisa's "Laura" in its first two days, and there are close to 80 different petitions against the Peruvian host, demanding her expulsion from Mexico.
