The International Federation of Journalists expresses its deep concern for the phenomena of the restriction of freedom of the press around the world, but also in Greece, which shows significant decline, according to Press Freedom and Rule of Law reports.
- Political parameters, such as wars, illiberal and totalitarian regimes around the world but also government interventions even in European democracies,
- Economic parameters, such as the concentration of media in strong oligopolies, as well as the job and salary insecurity in which journalists are required to carry out their mission, are the main causes that threaten the freedom of the press and consequently the smooth functioning of democracy.
The IFJ calls on governments, media companies and all parties involved to allow journalists to carry out their work unhindered and to take measures for the safety and independence of the journalistic profession and journalists.
