All united against it the intruder but not all, to tell the truth, supportive with the latest decisions from president Ukrainian. The decree has just been approved by governmentwith what TV who do not agree transfer created it through a single platform Bad mood among information operators and among those citizens who complain about a restriction in this way freedom of the press. The new norm excluded from the political stage numerous partiesincluding the main movement of oppositionand forced television and websites Internet adapt and produce the same content. Raise several controversies.
“The decision of Zelensky it’s illegal he says Mykola Knyashichytskyifounder of Espresso TVone of the fastest growing private networks in last years because it is not permissible to combine all national broadcasters into a 24hour marathon with one voice”. The executive justifies this with this decision serves to avoid “the diffusion active from disinformation by the attacking state, the falsification of information and the refusal same of armed attack “according to the dictation of Kremlin. Motivation in such a complex situation is understandable; However, the decree penalizes networks like Espreso or other networks that have always taken positions ProUkraine and antiPutin. “Someone pressured Zelensky to sign this law against them patriotic channels who never supported the proRussian opposition platform For Life Party, he continues Knyashichytskyi who blames the “enemies in power” a Kyiv not to have restricted, for example, the activity of Russia 24which is broadcast Melitopol occupied by the Moscow army.
In short: Espreso Tv has always had a special feeling for Zelensky’s predecessor, Petro Poroshenkoand more than one sees in this last decree a kind of billing of accounts to silence the critical voices, even among those arguing on the same side. “We have a solid partnership with BBC, Radio Liberty and France 24 we broadcast by cable in Europe and on many other continents. I’m willing to support Zelensky in this war we fight for them democracynot for another dictatorship… The last time our tv was shut down was in the hands of Yanukovych during the revolution and it didn’t work. The final push lets us understand the level of the fight: “Not yet Putin and his allies who prompted Zelensky to sign this lawthey will be able to silence our voice.
The other media didn’t take it well either, not even those who opted for it adjust and to participate in the “not stop“Together. “There’s no reason to limit that transmission regardless of our channels with a strong proUkrainian position say representatives of channel 5 and Direct TV since we do not give anyone the slightest doubt as to the causes of this conflict and about Putin’s responsibility in the invasion. “We never received complaints by the military and we can provide free content and fight the war effectively disinformation defense of Ukraine. However, we understand the logic of martial law and we will act in accordance with the new decree. But democracy and the freedom of the word they are important and the rule of law must also be untouchable in one position so complicated “.
