Marek Stoniš stated that he was invited to a recent meeting of editors dedicated to challenging politicians to respect freedom of information, but he refused to sign the prepared appeal. He labeled the support from the media as hypocritical. According to Stoniš, these media manipulated and lied during the migration crisis, the COVID pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. He also claimed they supported Brussels legislation threatening freedom of speech, the so-called citizens' right to corrected information, the closure of inconvenient websites, and the division of society into systemic and anti-system parts. He called their current defense of free speech absurd and asked where it was in the previous ten years. https://t.co/4h8AUVd9ZQ #svobodaSlova #mediálníManipulace #politika (translated)
