IFJ/EFJ and UNI have called for ERT to go back on the air and the rights of the journalists and media workers respected. Any reform of the ERT needs to be based on dialogue with the workers and their representative organisations.]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:18:38 +0200 http://europe.ifj.org/en/articles/greek-public-broadcasting-belongs-to-the-greek-people#bbd3d308583fd6e71641081e824faf0e IFJ.org http://europe.ifj.org/en/articles/ifj-efj-call-for-affiliates-to-take-action-in-support-of-greek-colleagues The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) have called for affiliates across the world to support their colleagues sacked from Greek broadcasting station TV and fight to reverse the "deplorable" decision.

The signatories demand that the Greek government reverse this decision without delay. Public broadcasting is a precondition of pluralism and of the quality of TV and radio programmes. The signatories express their full solidarity with their Greek colleagues and call upon the media across Europe to condemn this authoritarian suppression of public-service broadcasting. The massive, imposed cuts in public employment are an inadequate response to the economic and financial crisis. The decision by the Greek government to deprive the public of a service to which it has a right constitutes an attack on freedom of expression and democracy.
