Students of Greece try to break a month’s media censorship, over their struggle against Diamantopoulou Law.

Students of Greece try to break a month’s media censorship,

over their struggle against Diamantopoulou Law.

In the middle of a pandemonium the main news broadcast of NET was interrupted at 21:00 pm on Sunday. A team of about 60 students from the organizational committee of the student occupations’ throughout Greece, broke into the studio when the news broadcast was on air, live. The students demanded an opportunity to make their demands known in public. Their demand was turned down, and the broadcast was interrupted. Negotiations between the students and the NET state authorities took place afterwards.

As we learned, during the negotiation, the ERT (NET) authorities proposed that the students should give them a written message which would be broadcasted not during the news broadcast, but later during the program of the channel. The 60 students insisted on presenting their demands during the main news broadcast.

Finally both sides agreed to shoot a video of the team’s declaration which would be broadcasted later, and then the students would leave the NET’s  facilities. We should note that the students entered the NET facilities in Agia Paraskevi, through it’s main entrance.

After the students’ “assault”,  the police was informed and police forces gathered outside NET’s facilities on Mesogeion Avenue.

The Occupation of ERT (NET) continues

The students in the NET’s studios called for support and lots of people gathered outside NET’s facilities, in order to prevent police arrests during the students’ exit.

Through a phone call to comrades inside the building we were informed that Lampis Tagmatarxis make a commitment to broadcast their recorded message first, on the news broadcast today at 24:00 and on the news broadcast tomorrow morning..

When the students withdraw from the building we will have and we will post recorded material from NET’s occupation.

Finally at about 1:00 after midnight, after 4 hours of occupation of NET studio, students decided to withdraw from NET building. 30 minutes later started NET' s news broadcast without finally showing the video with the students' declaration, something that shows the government's great fear of the student movement. The students declare their determination to continue their struggle till their final victory.
