“It is the duty of all democratic and progressive forces to work together to end this downhill.”
“The decline from 88th to 89th in the global freedom of the press, this year for Greece, in the report drawn up by the international organization” Journalists Without Borders “is a stigma for freedom of print in our country. Specifically, according to the table, Greece is in the last position of the European Union. In addition, it is located below Albania (80th), Botswana (81st) and Zambia (82nd), ”the announcement said in a statement SYRIZA-PS.
“This report highlights that strengthening regime characteristics is a strategic choice for the ND government. After all, Mr Mitsotakis’ first move in 2019 was to take on the responsibility of the EYP, which, as it was revealed, was systematically watching journalists. He did exactly the same with ERT and the Athens Macedonian News Agency. In the same context of the influence and control exercise, the various media funding lists are obviously included, through which the Government is supplying public money canalists and big issuers, ”notes SYRIZA-PS and concludes:
“The country’s slide at the level of freedom of the press bears the signature of the ND government. And it is the duty of all democratic and progressive forces to work together to end this downhill. “
