Incredible shame for the BNT program “Panorama”, whose guests were attacked with eggs by the protesters, which puts a terrible stain on those who fight for press freedom and journalism, said the president of the CEM, Betina Joteva, in an interview with the BNT protest. .
The CEM made three appeals to the protesters, pointing eggs at the guests of the BNT’s “Panorama” program. We also call on politicians who do not have the right to mount people for radio or television, who do not like them and do not have the right to be aggressive with journalists. when they work ”is categorical.
According to her, guests cannot be shot with eggs, as everyone is entitled to a position and must be free to express it and then be insulted. We discovered that last night a guest of “Panorama” was shot with eggs again, added the president of CEM.
Betina Joteva also commented on whether our country will move from 111th place in terms of freedom of the press. “After these atrocities among journalists in the streets, we should not take a higher place, and after the eggs thrown in the squares, we should not be in a higher place,” he said.
She also highlighted a “worrying phenomenon for her”: journalists remove their signs from the cubes of the television they work for while covering the protests so that there are no attacks against them.
Joteva also commented on the resolution on the rule of law in Bulgaria, which was adopted by the EP. According to her, it was written by a party official seeking dividends from the party and will likely receive them. According to her, “it has no legal or expert value.”
“It is good that the socialists have written what is happening in Bulgaria so that the European Union understands, this is not serious,” added Joteva.
In this regard, he pointed to the fact that only the CEMs of Bulgaria and Poland are made up of two institutions: a parliament or a president, which makes it independent.
For her, however, media ownership is a “terrible problem” and cited the example that there are media outlets that comply with the law and there are others that do not.
“Media ownership is used as a form of pressure, and in Bulgaria there is a specially written law on media ownership. Please implement it,” Joteva emphasized.
He also pointed to a worrying trend highlighted in the EC report on media freedom, for the province’s small media, where there is pressure on local media from local authorities, using EU funds.
