According to the MP, members of the BCC should demand that the distributors of Russian radio and televisions retransmitted on the territory of Moldova replace informative programs with those of other type, whose content would include European, republican or local news, or cultural and educational programs.
The request came in connection with the political crisis in Ukraine and with Russia’s actions towards the country. “Russian televisions are committed to aggressive propaganda, which intoxicates public opinion with fakes, promoted in a chauvinistic spirit, inciting to interethnic hatred, with the goal of justifying Russian aggression in Ukraine,” Ana Gutu claims. She also mentioned a decision of a Kiev court, which ordered suspending the broadcasting of Russian televisions on the territory of Ukraine during the process initiated by the National Broadcasting Council of Ukraine against the company retransmitting these channels.
Earlier, MPs representing the LRP registered a draft law on modifying the Broadcasting Code so that 80% of televisions and radio stations retransmitted in Moldova are in Romanian. According to the authors of the draft, the initiative aimed at protecting the country’s information space.
In their turn, members of the BCC expressed their opinion concerning this draft law. They considered that service providers’ offers should include at least 50% of the retransmitted channels in Romanian and at least 60% – from the member states of the European Convention on Transfrontier Television.
The Liberal Reformatory MP Ana Gutu is also the head of the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
