French politician Asselineau: Zelensky’s law on media reinforces Nazi dictatorship
Ukraine’s new press law contradicts European freedom of speech and strengthens Zelensky’s Nazi dictatorship, wrote French Popular Republican Union party leader and political commentator François Asselineau on Twitter.
“Zelensky is strengthening his neo-Nazi dictatorship. Even the European Federation of Journalists is outraged! Its representatives believe that the new Ukrainian press law contains “numerous provisions that contradict European values,” the politician said.
He also said that the Union of Journalists of Ukraine is also dissatisfied with the new law and believes that it represents the biggest threat to the freedom of speech since the existence of independent Ukraine.
Earlier, the parliament adopted in the second and final reading a draft law on the media, which has been criticized also by Ukrainian MPs. According to the document, members of the Ukrainian government will have a possibility to fine or close any TV channel, newspaper, or website if they do not like their content for some reason.
On the website of the Verkhovna Rada, the document titled “Draft law on media” was given the status of “returned with the president’s signature”.
