The Council of Europe criticized Greece, citing Documento newspaper as an example, with the decision number 85/2020 of the Platform for the Freedom of the Press and the Protection of Journalists.
In criticism, “Documento is a weekly research newspaper. Coronavirus outbreak ads were excluded. The newspaper has a structure that criticizes the government. " Expressions were used.
It is also stated that newspapers criticizing the government in Greece are excluded from epidemic advertising.
The International Press Institute (IPI) had previously sent a letter of complaint to Prime Minister Mitsotakis about the discrimination against the press.
In the decision, “Some media outlets were restricted from the 20 million euro advertising campaign the government gave to the press within the framework of the epidemic campaign, and some were completely excluded from the campaign. Those who were excluded from the campaign could not receive even a small part of the advertisements given to the other press, as they were opponents, and some of them had much more readership than others" statements were included.
In the continuation of the decision, the weekly Documento newspaper published in Greece is shown as an example.
As will be remembered, Turkish newspapers, magazines, radios and websites broadcasting in Western Thrace could not benefit from the 20 million advertising campaign.
