Newly-Elected Slovakian PM Robert Fico Already at War With the Media, Threatens to Restrict Access to Major Outlets.
Now, his comments have sparked concerns in Bratislava and abroad that Slovakia’s press freedoms are under attack
“’Fico is waging a personal war with journalists and abusing the state for it’, said Peter Bárdy, the editor-in-chief of Aktuality. While noting that it was still unclear whether Fico would actually ban media outlets from attending press conferences, Bárdy said on Wednesday: ‘If this happens, it will not allow us to confront them with the practical aspects of the politics they are doing’
Not sure if this sounds promising or not lol
This one of those Thank you I think moments. You are not alone on this thought.
