She says that despite threats, blackmail and even physical attacks journalists do their job by addressing all the problems of citizens.
“Threats, blackmail, and even physical attacks have become a reminder of their work. Despite various challenges, however, journalists make it possible to live the fundamental values of freedom of expression. Thanks to their civic sense and their courage to criticize, they become the most articulating voice of the problems of the country's citizens today”.
It has criticised the ruling party for its access to the media, saying that because of its inability to rule, it is carrying the problem to the media.

The ruling parties come and go, but the media remain guardian of the values of democracy”, it wrote on Facebook.
