Tbilisi. Media Advocacy Coalition member organizations respond to the initiative of Kakha Kaladze, Mayor of Tbilisi and Secretary General of “Georgian Dream”, in regard to creation of a new platform for media criticism.
“We consider that initiation of such a campaign by a high-ranking political official against critical means of media does not meet expectations of a democratic society. It roughly contradicts to ethical values and principles of high-ranking officials. Especially when there is a risk of promoting aggression against journalists, verbal and physical assault”, - is noted in the statement.
