Spanish term or phrase: poner y quitar rey

Y por favor, presionen a nuestro gobierno, si es que algo así es posible, para que eliminen la ley de los años 80, por la que el gobierno entrante del país, puede "poner y quitar rey" en los medios de comunicación estatales, que es lo que condiciona finalmente toda la información. Una información pública, debe ser una información totalmente transparente, aunque al gobierno no le convenga.

s'immiscer

Explanation:
"poner y quitar rey" = se mêler des affaires d'autrui (dico Maraval)...par conséquent je dirais "loi des années 80, par laquelle le gouvernement...peut s'immiscer dans les moyens de communication...".

Bonne chance

Faire la pluie et le beau temps

Explanation:
"S'imiscer", c'est bien, mais à mon avis ça ne rend pas la notion de "aqui mando yo" de "poner y quitar rey". On peut s'imiscer dans les affaires d'autrui sans pour autant y légiférer (seria mas bien "meterse").

Et pourquoi pas, \"en maître absolu\".

Bon, j\'arrête.
