Petr Bystron, deputat european din Grupul ESN, a comentat:<\/p>\n
\u201cVorbim despre miliarde pe care Bruxelles-ul pare s\u0103 inten\u021bioneze s\u0103 le investeasc\u0103 \u2013 f\u0103r\u0103 niciun control democratic real \u2013 \u00eentr-o nou\u0103 infrastructur\u0103 de cenzur\u0103 \u0219i propagand\u0103. Sub pretextul \u2018protej\u0103rii democra\u021biei\u2019, se creeaz\u0103 un vast mecanism de subven\u021bionare pentru platformele \u0219i mass-media favorabile guvernului, \u00een timp ce vocile critice continu\u0103 s\u0103 fie excluse.\u201d.<\/p>\n
Faptul c\u0103 se a\u0219teapt\u0103 acum ca contribuabilii europeni s\u0103 umple golul l\u0103sat de reducerile USAID este o jignire pentru oricine crede \u00een diversitatea autentic\u0103 a mass-mediei. Bruxelles \u00ee\u0219i permite s\u0103 decid\u0103 care informa\u021bii sunt \u2018bune\u2019 sau \u2018rele\u2019, care mass-media sunt \u2018libere\u2019 \u0219i care sunt \u2018propagand\u0103\u2019. Proced\u00e2nd astfel, UE renun\u021b\u0103 definitiv la libera pia\u021b\u0103 a ideilor.<\/p>\n
Ne vom opune cu fermitate acestor planuri. Dac\u0103 Uniunea European\u0103 ar lua \u00een serios libertatea presei \u0219i a cuv\u00e2ntului, ar tolera posturile de televiziune incomode sau str\u0103ine, \u00een loc s\u0103 pompeze miliarde \u00eentr-o for\u021b\u0103 de poli\u021bie ideologic\u0103. Dezinformarea \u0219i propaganda sunt \u00eentotdeauna puse pe seama altora \u2013 \u0219i totu\u0219i, prin acest program, Bruxelles institu\u021bionalizeaz\u0103 chiar controlul unilateral asupra opiniei publice.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
