Summary
Seven EU countries support a Czech proposal for the bloc to fund Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) after the U.S. cut its financial support.
The move follows Trump’s March 14 executive order directing U.S. agencies to reduce operations, leading to RFE/RL employees being placed on leave.
Germany and several Nordic and Baltic nations back the plan, calling RFE/RL vital for information in regions lacking democratic freedoms.
If Radio Free Europe gets EU funding, it should be reincorporated in Europe and the remainder of its US operations relocated to Prague to avoid any American influence on its reporting and continued defense of democracy.
Of course, I think that’s implied.
The US cut funding, so there will be no offices or personnel in the US to influence anything.
The headquarters are already in the Czech Republic
Not the corporate one, with 680 employees in Washington, D.C.
To keep Radio Free Europe from degrading to the level of Russian propaganda, any and all fascist influence must be removed and kept out of its administration.
Thanks for the clarification, yes that would of course be good as well.
They should also make plans to fund a Radio Free America, for once the corporate US press starts fully parroting the party line.
“5 minutes later”
Elon, Trump, and conservatives regret cutting USAGM.
