'From Bad to Worse: The Deterioration of Media Freedom in Greece' is a detailed Human Rights Watch report exposing systematic government actions restricting journalism since July 2019 under New Democracy's rule. This episode explores harassment, surveillance scandals involving spyware like Predator targeting journalists, editorial interference in public broadcasters through state funds manipulation, abusive lawsuits against reporters covering sensitive topics such as wiretapping scandals, and ongoing challenges undermining democratic values in Greece's press landscape. We discuss key testimonies from affected journalists alongside broader implications for democracy and EU oversight responsibilities within this comprehensive analysis featured on Greek News in English.
