What happened to Adolfo Bolívar at the Los Incas station of the Metropolitano?
The Los Incas station, known for its high passenger flow, especially during peak hours, has been the scene of multiple complaints from users since it began operations just a few weeks ago. Adolfo Bolívar was there to give a voice to concerned citizens regarding long waits and overcrowding, recurring themes in local news.
Their attempt to capture live the daily reality faced by passengers was abruptly interrupted, sparking a debate about transparency and access to public information.
ATU staff intervened during coverage and claimed that the presence of the news crew could contribute to the already existing disorder and that filming operations required prior coordination. During the transmission, Bolívar made known what was happening on the open signal, but everything culminated in his withdrawal from the aforementioned station.
This approach has been criticized by several sectors, who argue that such a requirement could be interpreted as a form of prior censorship. The situation was handled with a certain level of confrontation, which was broadcast to thousands of viewers and increased scrutiny of the ATU's management and communication policies.
