91 315. In this case, the application for constitutional amparo was filed on February 9, 2007, by a group of executives, journalists and other employees of RCTV343 against the President of the Republic and the Minister of the People’s Power for Telecommunications and Information Technology based on “an imminent, immediate and possible threat” of violations of several rights including “the right to due process, expressed in the right to the presumption of innocence, the right of defense, and the right to a hearing by an impartial authority.”344 The amparo remained pending a decision on March 28, 2007, the date on which CONATEL issued Communication No. 0424 and Resolution No. 002. On April 2, 2007, the applicants amended their initial application for amparo to refute the terms of the official decision not to renew the RCTV concession.345 316. According to the proven facts in this case, on May 17, 2007, the Supreme Court of Justice ruled on the application for amparo and declared it inadmissible. Among the reasons given, the SCJ referred to the Amparo Law pointing out that its article 6(5) indicated that “[w]hen the aggrieved party has chosen to have recourse to ordinary judicial proceedings or used pre-existing judicial procedures”346 the application will be inadmissible. In addition, it indicated that “since an ordinary procedure exists under adjectival administrative law that permits obtaining the same objective as would be obtained by filing the application for amparo, this is the procedure that should be used first by the person who considers that his constitutional rights have been violated.”347 Cf. The application for constitutional amparo before the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of February 9, 2007, was filed by Gustavo J. Reyna and Pedro Alberto Perera Riera in their capacity as legal representatives of shareholder Marcel Granier, and also jointly by Gustavo J.
