By Stavros I. Charalambous:
Friends and acquaintances ask me why I defend with so much passion and vigor ERT and its highly paid employees which the Samaras government has closed. The reason is very simple: ERT is a monument of Greek and world culture, it has quality, impartiality and fair recording of events. The non-recording of events as they unfold is seen daily by private channels, which act according to their interests. A strong case last night, from the MEGA of Cyprus that forgot that there is also the PROVINCE of FAMAGUSTA. He forgot that the feast of the flood is also celebrated in free Famagusta. He forgot that before the Turkish invasion in '74 the FLOOD WAS SYNONYMOUS WITH Famagusta. As for the highly paid employees of ERT, these are the 100. The other 2500 have an average annual income of 20 thousand euros. Now, if there are many, it is not the officials themselves who are to blame, but the politicians who liked them for voting reasons there.
Now, if ERT wastes the money of the Greek people recklessly, as many attribute to it, this must certainly be cut, just as the private channels must immediately pay the taxes and the rights for their operation, which for the people to know are much more than the waste of ERT, but no one says anything.
