[01] EFJ backs media strike in Greece
(ANA-MPA) -- The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), the European
group of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), on Tuesday
announced its full support for the a strike by journalists in Greece on
Wednesday, who will take part in a 24-hour nationwide strike organised
by the country's trade unions.
"As the country is going through a terrible financial and economic
crisis, Greek journalists and media workers are put under pressure, but
they should not suffer from a situation which they are not responsible
for," said EFJ President Arne Konig. "All over Europe we see social
standards attacked in the name of the crisis, but unions will oppose
this and fight for justice and for the truth: we do not accept that
workers should be made scapegoats of the financial crisis".
The EFJ represents more than 250,000 journalists in more than 30
countries worldwide
