The dangerous precedent of the closing of the Greek state television

The decision to close with a measure of the empire state broadcaster Greek, marks the passing of a new limit in the relations between states and citizens. It should be noted that this is not being accessed in an Arab country in limited democracy, often rightly criticized by the West and even in the current chaotic situation in Turkey, but the center of Europe in what is considered the cradle of democratic civilization. The event brings within itself a symbolic effect no small feat, given that pluralism of information was hired, now as a matter of fact, as a distinctive element of the degree of democracy present in a country. Sorry to repeat, but if this had happened in other latitudes, the outcry would have been unanimous in favor of a freedom denied. Since there has been this crisis, Greece has been a laboratory from which they are parties increasingly illiberal measures, which are extended in various shapes and sizes in almost all countries of the European Union. For now it was an economic compression, who have not earlier, did not affect the fundamental rights, if not by the hand of the reduction, also very sensitive to available funding, which has had repercussions as often devastating effects on a series rights that were believed captured, such as health or home, but the loss of these was explained as a way to cope with a crisis, for which, however, called for the account to the less guilty. Even the closure of the Greek was justified by the need to cut costs, but did not think of a rationalization, but the appearance of the waiver to the provision of news in the name of a future privatization, is presented as an event unique in the development of strategy to justify the cutting of goods and services in the name of economic reason. The point that is touched borders with practice in an almost dictatorial shameless and it is significant that it can be achieved in a moment of weariness, almost prostration, citizenship, now engaged in mere survival. It is surprising also that what is happening rather than erodes the silence of Brussels, always committed to the defense of rights, but now strangely absent. If this measure becomes a precedent, in almost total silence of the institutions of the European countries, it would be of another test and confirmation of the consolidated financial supremacy of what was called the peoples of Europe, losing to the European institution that residual credibility someone who still granted him. It seems that the time to intervene directly to Brussels is running out, resulting in a removal, due to the lack of confidence in the institutions of Brussels, which will be difficult to recover and provide full-bodied subjects for the Eurosceptics, the groups at the extremes of the political and populist various accustomed to ride increasing dissatisfaction.
