Human Rights Watch (HRW) recently published a report detailing the alarming decline in press freedom in Greece, highlighting systemic restrictions that promote self-censorship among journalists. The analysis, based on interviews with 26 media professionals, revealed a climate of fear, including state surveillance and intimidation from pro-government factions. The report follows another criticism from Reporters Without Borders, intensifying scrutiny on the Greek government's role in undermining democratic principles. HRW calls for European Union intervention to protect journalism and ensure adherence to democratic values in Greece.
The rapid deterioration of media freedom in Greece reveals pervasive and deliberate restrictions, resulting in stifled critical reporting and widespread self-censorship among journalists.
