Editor -in -chief in the Arena: We did not bet on the Prime Minister’s survival, we are considering words. Hate
Control does not mean spreading hatred.
“The conditions of reconciliation as defines them Robert Fico. They are impossible. He considers any criticism to be an attack on his person and his point of view would be reconciled if the media were to be included in one width with the government, « says Beata Balogová in the Arena program with Jana Krescanko Dibáková and refuses to be the media bearers.
« We have to speak when we see that Robert Fico is decomposing democratic institutions with his steps, » adds the editor -in -chief, with a personal confession that he is even more careful from the assassination of some terms in the texts published by SME daily.
Despite the fact that the Office of Government and Face Direction They only talk about attacks in relation to politicians and family members of the party, it is not an objective view of the spread of hatred. In addition to the opposition, journalists must also face it – to a much higher extent than in the past: « After the assassination, and especially after the first performance of Robert Fico, the attacks on journalists increased unprecedentedly. They are so vulgar and hateful that they do not belong to the public space.
The government advises steps against the spread of hatred. However, we are already insufficiently protecting victims of this type of manifestation and failing to provide timely support by the security forces also had its share of death Ján Kuciak – One of the journalists, today’s hate targets. The paradox of the time is that Kuciak was not provided with sufficient protection just at the time when the police were at the forefront of the police one of the loudest critics of today’s situation – Tibor Gašpar. « The attacks on journalists were the first to be investigated. The verbal attacks of Kočner on Ján Kuciak, » recalls the editor -in -chief.
How to create a better atmosphere? The challenging task is also for the direction itself, when he has a bombica legally in his own rows and his faces.
