Media freedom in Moldova has been eroded for a long time, only 2 TV stations remain as part of the public broadcasting service - Moldova 1 and Moldova 2. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.
“Freedom of media in Moldova has been trampled underfoot for quite some time; only 2 TV stations are still operational - Moldova-1 and Moldova-2. This reflects the overall situation. But Moldova isn’t criticized for this.
Against this backdrop, with only two government-controlled broadcasters remaining, it is entirely predictable that Moldova would also attack free media in Georgia. They have restricted independent media within Moldova, and now they are targeting free media in Georgia. This is a logical chain of events”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
