Greek government will reopen closed public television in 2013
The Greek government wants to reopen the public television ERT, closed in 2013
by the previous executive, and will introduce in Parliament a draft law to that
end. It is envisaged the return to work of the redundant who so desire.
Government source quoted by AFP said the reopening will not have negative
effects
on public finances. Nikos Pappas, Minister of State, said the government does
not exclude the fee increase to finance the ERT.
The end of the season, in June 2013, ordered by the then conservative Prime
Minister Antonis Samaras, justified with the austerity. The head of the
government at the time argued with the companys costs, which considered
excessive for a Greece in crisis.
The interruption emissions caused a crisis in the government, with the socialist
Pasok party and the left- democratic Dimar which at the time also a member of
the coalition led by New Democracy -. to demarcate from the decision
The ERT case had international repercussions and led events supported by Syriza,
which now leads the government, and a general strike against a decision by
unions
and opposition compared to a coup. For months the facilities were occupied by
workers who opposed the closure. The European Broadcasting Union condemned the
closure.
The station was temporarily replaced by DT. Later gave way to Nerit, with only
500 employees, less than a fifth of the staff of ERT and a reduced schedule.
In the campaign, Tsipras pledged to reopen the old station. The Government is
not limited to return to the old framework [operating]; will address the
problems, but without inadmissible initiatives of the previous government, such
as to impose a black screen, said Friday the government source.
Among the criticisms that were made to the public operator before
closure were waste and the high number of employees. Many reformed up and a part
was fired. Dozens of journalists have been hired by Nerit, who was accused of
condescension towards the previous conservative-socialist government.
The return of the ERT was announced on the day that the German Members approved
by an overwhelming majority, the extension of the financial assistance program
for Greece. Of the 587 who voted, 542 said yes to the prolongation of the
agreement for four months; 32 voted against and 13 blank. The vote is not
surprising, because all parliamentary parties were in favor of the extension.
Votes against and white came from the policy area of ​​Chancellor
Angela Merkel.
The finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, had asked the favorable vote,
although
he admitted that it would not be an easy position for many Members. Ask
everyone
to not frown because causaríamos very great harm to our people and our
future,
he said, according to AFP.
The Berlin government needed the approval of Parliament to give its approval to
the extension of the program in force of 2012 and now ending on 30 June. We
Germans must do everything to ensure Europe remains united, Schäuble said
in a
speech gravely. The agreement represents no more billions for Greece, does not
imply any changes to the existing program, said too.
The deal between Greece and creditors was released a week ago. In return for the
extension of the agreement, Tsipras Government did arrive on Tuesday to Brussels
a list of reforms. It is a deliberately vague document, as recognized this
Friday
the Greek Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis.
The Greeks commitments include no deadlines, no quantified targets, because that
was the recommendation that you have been made by European counterparts. In an
interview with Antenna TV, Varoufakis said it was advised not mention numbers to
avoid possible objections of the parliaments of the eurozone countries.
