The international of the right has hit Greece again
Behemoths of international information with an unprecedented global prestige, have fallen into the hegemony of the rightists. The New York Times in a report on the wiretapping in Greece (as of course it had the right and obligation) begins with a false preface, to prejudge the reader that it refers to an illiberal democracy.
It doesn’t matter that the journalists (Lauren Markham and the Greek Lydia Emmanouilidou) present themselves as honoring the Greek people (because he doesn’t know, they know) by writing that in the surveillance scandal, the Greek Watergate, enough people don’t pay attention, which is worrying . the Greek journalists (so generally the “Greek journalists”. If we assume which side the Greek journalists belong to, we will probably be bad faith).
But it is important because they write the false – therefore immoral: “Today, any journalist who covers the arrivals of asylum seekers on the Aegean islands or on the land border of Evros with Turkey, is at risk of being arrested. Journalists avoid landing appeals for fear that, like several aid workers currently on trial, they could be wrongly accused of trafficking and espionage!
You remain dumbfounded, because so far no one has been convicted, no one is now on trial. It is the second false report of the same newspaper, after the one that “revealed” a secret detention center in Evros where refugees were kept before being sent to Turkey, without being given the opportunity to apply for asylum!
When the falsehood was proven, the reporter Patrick Kingsley admitted in a post that he had based the report on the testimony of a person who – although the newspaper presented as a refugee of Syrian-Kurdish Turkish origin – was revealed to be a Turkish citizen, Somar Elhusegin, and has , but the reporter hid it in the report!
Greek co-signer Matina Stevi also made a kind of recognition of the “mistake”. But both of them did on their personal social media accounts. From the newspaper Sigii Ichthyos for its journalistic agos.
At least Spiegel, although it did not apologize, suspended the reports of the Greek journalist Giorgos Christidis, and cooperated with the NGO, about the non-existent little Maria who died from a scorpion sting on a Greek island in Evros. Spiegel was somehow “punished” from within. Bild, Taggespiegel and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and other Media, dealt with the withdrawal of his articles. FAZ stabs at his credibility: “The dead girl might not have existed.”
As for the NYT’s claim that “several aid workers currently on trial could be charged with human trafficking and espionage,” the only money-laundering prosecutor currently investigating involves the organization HumanRights 360:
It is the NGO that denounced Greece for the 38 and little Maria in Evros. According to the information, in the aforementioned conclusion written by the head of the Authority, there is talk of a long route of hundreds of thousands of euros.
According to the responsible minister Mitarakis, in 2019 the NGO took over from SYRIZA the management of European funds amounting to 20 million euros! At the same time, according to him, “together with another – in whose management are SYRIZA officials – they took us to the Court of Human Rights” (for Maria of Evros).
At the same time, Journalist G. Papachristos revealed to NEA a case of “identified involvement of a well-known right of Athens” with sympathizers operating in Kos, and who has been recorded talking as a partner of Turkish smugglers for “cargo” before and after his mission to Hellas! The impressive thing is that the case file… “fell” for a year and a half! After the publication, the prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Isidoros Dogiakos, intervened. So we buy…popcorn and await the next belittling of moneyed humanitarians.
Meanwhile, all of them have an ideological-political relationship with SYRIZA and coordinate with its complaints. SYRIZA is not strong enough to determine international publications. The circles are strong and SYRIZA is identified with them out of political interest and ideology. As in the case of five-year-old Maria in Evros.
