SYRIZA leader outlines party’s proposals on mass media

A series of proposals to create an entirely new basis for the operation of the country’s mass media were presented on Monday evening by main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras.

Speaking during a party event on mass media, Tsipras said that SYRIZA’s ambition was to put “an end to this rotten system, an end to vested interests.”

One of the first measures to be taken if SYRIZA came to power would be a whole new system of licensing to mass media, which would exclude private companies having debts to pension funds and employees, as well as those which did not adhere to the statutory labour and professional rights and those which did not adhere to the journalistic code of ethics.
