Portalul cultural al evenimentelor culturale din Grecia http://www.cultureguide.gr/ a fost inchis printr-o decizie administrativa arbitrara si personalul concediat. Acesta era principalul punct de informare pe Internet pentru evenimente culturale din Grecia si avea numerosi vizitatori, inclusiv turisti in vizita in Grecia. Sistarea finantarii unui portal cultural care facea un important serviciu public a provocat un val de proteste internationale. Reteaua portalurilor culturale CULTURE.MONDO http://www. culturemondo.org si numeroase organizatii si-au exprimat dezacordul si au manifestat temeri privind amestecul politicului in libera exprimare in domeniul culturii, exercitarea unei cenzuri financiare si lipsa de continuitate in sprijinirea unor servicii publice culturale de valoare recunoscuta pe plan national si international. Mai jos mesajul lui Elias Vergitsis, coordonatorul portalului suspendat, cu solicitarea de a va alatura protestului. -----Original Message----- From: "Elias Vergitsis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2006 01:03:46 +0200 Subject: INTERNATIONAL CITIZENS CLAIM FOR CULTUREGUIDE.GR Dear Friends and colleagues, Dozens of emails have bombarded the Hellenic Culture Organization, the Ministry of Culture and the Prime Minister's office to protest the violent shut-down of cultureguide.gr, Greece's only cultural website. We wish to thank those of you who have sent citizen's claim against what happened. It seems that the Greek government is having second thoughts now, or at least this is what my sources tell me. I wish to ask you once again to help. Please send your protest to the email addresses attached at the very end of this message. Ask them to reconsider. And pass this message to friends and colleagues who love Culture and the Arts. Your help is needed. Sincerely, Elias Vergitsis PS. We have posted a blog with all the emails that have been sent protesting for what happened (sorry but it is in Greek only). You can find it at http://culturedied.blogspot.com.
