Slovakia approves closure of public radio and television channels
The government of Slovakia, led by social democrat Robert Fico, approved today the closure of the public radio and television channel RTVS, which it accuses of reporting in a subjective and non-independent way.

The coalition executive, made up of Fico’s Smer, the also social-democrat Hlas and the conservative Slovak National Party approved the controversial project, which will now be debated in Parliament.
There, the definitive closure of the public radio and television will be put to the vote, but the coalition parties hold an absolute majority, so the project is not expected to fail.
The vote should take place at the end of June, according to the expectations of the Slovak prime minister.
The initiative has been criticized by both the opposition and journalists critical of Fico’s government, who accuse the executive of wanting to replace RTVS, which they consider objective and independent, with a government-linked propaganda station.
Several non-governmental organizations have already announced that they will send letters to the European Commission and the European Parliament to stop the closure of RTVS and the Slovak president herself, Zuzana Caputova, who ends her term in June, repudiated the measure.
Prime Minister Robert Fico and Culture Minister Martina Simkovicova, who promoted the measure, have repeatedly criticized RTVS management for alleged bias and have tried to dismiss the broadcaster’s general director.
However, Slovak legislation prevented this maneuver, since the head of the public radio and television was elected for a term until 2027.
The Executive is trying to get around the situation by replacing RTVS with a new broadcaster called STVR.
In addition to the name change, the government’s proposal includes the appointment of the director-general of radio and television by a council made up of several members, three of whom are chosen by the Ministry of Culture, and also advocates the creation of a council to oversee programming.
