Poslanec Evropskega parlamenta iz skupine ESN Petr Bystron je dejal:<\/p>\n
\u201cGovorimo o milijardah, ki jih Bruselj o\u010ditno namerava \u2013 brez kakr\u0161nega koli resni\u010dnega demokrati\u010dnega nadzora \u2013 vlo\u017eiti v novo infrastrukturo za cenzuro in propagando. Pod pretvezo \u2018za\u0161\u010dite demokracije\u2019 se ustvarja ogromen sistem subvencij za platforme in medije, naklonjene vladi, medtem ko se kriti\u010dni glasovi \u0161e naprej izklju\u010dujejo.<\/p>\n
Dejstvo, da se od evropskih davkopla\u010devalcev zdaj pri\u010dakuje, da zapolnijo vrzel, ki jo je pustilo zmanj\u0161anje sredstev agencije USAID, je \u017ealitev za vsakogar, ki verjame v resni\u010dno medijsko raznolikost. Bruselj si drzne odlo\u010dati, katere informacije so \u2018dobre\u2019 ali \u2018slabe\u2019, kateri mediji so \u2018svobodni\u2019 in kateri so \u2018propaganda\u2019. S tem EU dokon\u010dno opu\u0161\u010da prosti trg idej.<\/p>\n
Tem na\u010drtom se bomo odlo\u010dno uprli. \u010ce bi Evropska unija resno jemala svobodo tiska in izra\u017eanja, bi dopu\u0161\u010dala neprijetne ali tuje medije, namesto da vlaga milijarde v ideolo\u0161ko policijsko silo. Za dezinformacije in propagando se vedno krivi druge \u2013 a s tem programom Bruselj sam institucionalizira enostranski nadzor nad javnim mnenjem.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
