Thanks Dimi for sharing the video clip of the vote! I hope that other countries can also prevent Wikipedia and other projects from being restricted to underage children.
This is actually the Minister of Digital Transition and Telecommunications, and for him as well as for the government it was logical that Wikipedia and other similar projects should be removed from this text. And as Dimi said, this idea was transpartisan. I hope that other European states will also have this common sense.
