On Tuesday evening 11 June, the government of Greece shut down the public broadcast channel, ERT.
Greek people are protesting against this action, showing their support to the thousands of the suddenly unemployed people of ERT, expressing their opposition to the authoritarian attitude of this government (which declares illegal anyone ready to fight for their work and civil rights) and preparing the ground for an ending of the irrational way of “saving” a country.
This action is unacceptable not only for the indifference shown towards the working people, the history of the land, or the feelings of the audience who consider the national radio/tv station as part of their common cultural heritage. This action is not against persons, it is against principles; and, alas, it falls under the league of fascism.
