BRATISLAVA. He thanked for the question he did not answer. After each next he repeated that it was his last answer.

Markíza head of TV Peter Gažík at a Tuesday press conference to launch a new online channel TN Live did not answer the basic questions about the case of her former moderator of the evening reports Viktor Vincze.

Even after almost two weeks, it is not clear why Markiza decided to download Vincze from the screen and move it to the web.

Gažík did not answer the question of whether it was a revenge for the moderator last year stopped his colleague Michal Kovačič and after his fired he stood at the forefront of television fields. The question of why Markiza writes in an opinion on dissatisfied editors that who does not like, can go away.

The riots on the following television have been fulfilling media subtitles for two weeks. Disagreements between television management and news editorial office have been in Markiza at least since the spring of last year. They are associated with the arrival of the new director of the news of Michal Kratochvíl and his intervention in the paper contributions. He spoke publicly about these practices last May Kovačič, when he ended up in a discussion program on the body.

Kratochvíl was also on Tuesday’s press. He sat next to Gažík. On every question to the Vincze case, the reds were rising in his face.

After the press of Markiza, the SME daily also joined Vincz, but he no longer wanted to comment on the situation. He said goodbye to television viewers at the end of the main news last week.

Silence as a strategy

« Viktor Vincze freely decided not to discuss the conditions of the new role, » said Gažík in response to the question why the management of Marquise decided to move the moderator to the web.

Despite repeated questions, the chief of the television did not answer whether it is true that the leadership of Vincze faced the finished thing.
