MEP proposes to open foundation to support Belarusian media

Marek Migalski puts forward an initiative to support the Belarusian independent media.

This information appeared on the politician's website.

The MEP proposes to open a foundation as part of the EU budget for 2014.

The new foundation, Marek Migalski thinks, will be responsible for the direct support to the Belarusian media which spread independent and honest information among Belarusians.

Marek Migalski says that the foundation will allow independent journalists to compete with the pro-governmental media.

“The EU recognised the recent 'election' in Belarus unfair and unfree and voiced their support for the Belarusian opposition several times. It's time for decisive actions. The foundation will be the first momentum for changes in Belarus,” he said.
