On this bleak January morning, I attend in #Slovakia the new trial in a key case for media freedom in Europe - the assassination of journalist #JanKuciak & his fiancée Martina Kusnirova 8 years ago. The alleged mastermind Kocner & his alleged accomplice Zsuszova were brought in from prison.

On my way to #Slovakia, to take part on Monday in the 3rd trial with the alleged mastermind of Jan Kuciak's assassination, an emblematic case for future of media freedom in Europe. It's been almost 8 years since the @aktualitysk.bsky.social journalist and his fiancée Martina Kusnirova were killed.

It's not just America. Some of the biggest spreaders of conspiracies and disinformation are now in top government posts in Slovakia where the national broadcaster is coming under political control. The EU may soon have its own post-truth nation.

Despite attacks from the editor-in-chief of RT, we will continue to call for the enforcement of 🇪🇺 sanctions against this Russian propaganda outlet. RSF, an independent NGO, is proud that democracies and public media are joining it in its fight for reliable information. The interview disliked by RT 👇

Back to Bratislava-via Vienna as usual. In both cities, the past -which I previously didn't pay enough attention to- has been waiting for me. A memorial for Mauthausen victims of the Nazis at the Vienna Airport & a new book by Slovak historians on the World War 2 resistance in the city of Kosice.

Never mind he is a neo-nazi & an anti-semite. On his most followed Slovak Telegram account, he hosted the PM & his friends. So, Daniel Bombic deserves to be defended by PM's advisor. That lawyer has just achieved that he will not be taken to custody after his extradition based on 3 arrest warrants.

Slovakia commemorates 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz with a government with anti-semitic elements. Khazar & Soros conspiracies, a Tiso admirer as a high-ranking official & the PM office's attempts to drop holocaust denial from definition of anti-semitism have no place in today's Europe.
