The lawsuit is the media and entertainment group’s reaction to efforts by Gov. Ron DeSantis and his associates to exert power over Florida’s Disney World theme park, which draws millions of visitors each year.
“The company has no choice but to file this lawsuit to protect its members, guests and local development partners from an ongoing campaign to weaponize government power against the Disney Group in response to the expression of unpopular political views.” for certain officials from the DeSantis Administration,” the Disney Group said, according to Reuters. The company denounces, according to the website Axios.com, a “concentrated campaign” of governmental retaliatory actions.
But a spokesman for Gov. Ron DeSantis called the action “an unfortunate example of the company’s hope to undermine the will of Florida voters.” “We are not aware of any legal right for a company to have its own government or to maintain privileges that other companies in the state of Florida do not have,” argued spokesperson Jerely Redfern.
The Disney Group accuses the Florida Tourism Office of violating contractual rights, without compensation and without due process, including by allegedly violating freedom of expression. The dispute intensified in 2022 after the Disney company criticized a state law banning the discussion of gender identity in school classes, an initiative of Gov. Ron DeSantis, a conservative politician.
The case marks the intensification of a dispute between a group in the media and entertainment industry and a potential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. Ron DeSantis has suggested that he may enter the electoral race to designate the candidate of the Republican Party for the position of president of the USA. If he decides to run, Ron DeSantis will have former President Donald Trump as his opponent in the internal Republican race.
