The electoral staff of C. Kolokasidis, candidate for the presidency of the Republic, "welcomes the decision of the Board of Directors of RIK regarding the hosting of independent presidential candidates in the programmes of public broadcasting", noting that "the decision was the result of our own criticism and our own actions, in the face of the discrimination that has been made so far against unbiased candidates and for the benefit of the parties and their elected officials."
According to the statement of the staff of G. Kolokasidis "the decision of the RIK is a first positive step, but too small at a time when pluralism, plurality and, by extension, democracy itself must be promoted."
"We insist and will continue to insist on equal treatment, because in the context of partisanship and a party-controlled public broadcaster, any independent voice, equality and democracy is stifled," the statement concludes.
