In his reaction, Hoti has called this act censorship and violation of the principles of an independent public media.
“are censorshiping journalists who criticise power, meanwhile favour those who host ministers in interviews. This approach is unacceptable, against the principles of the functioning of the independent public media. This approach applies to the public media of undemocratic regimes”, he stated.
On the other hand, the LDK deputy stressed that such decisions constitute legal violations and that responsibility will be inevitable.
The “those senior RTK officials who are making these decisions know they are committing legal violations. What they hardly allow to be instrumentalized in this way by power, we will find out in time. But the law does not escape, however late. The list has become a long one of those who will be held responsible for these changes”, Hoti added. /Periscope/
