London – Several international journalist organisations condemned Wednesday Prime Minister Janez JanÅ¡a’s tweet that said Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja MijatoviÄ was “part of #fakenews network”. This came after her warning about deteriorating media freedom in Slovenia. The organisations agree with her assessment of the situation.
“We welcome a memorandum by Commissioner MijatoviÄ and share her concern over the deterioration of media freedom in Slovenia, which coincides with findings of our recent fact-finding mission in the country,” said Article 19, the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF), the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), the International Press Institute (IPI), Free Press Unlimited (FPU) and OBC Transeuropa.
