Response of Corfu MP Dimitris Biagis to attacks on local newspaper offices

Corfu MP Dimitris Biagis said, "We condemn all acts that take us back to previous times," in response to Thursday night's attacks with paint by unknown persons on the two local newspapers Enimerosi and Kerkyra Simera.

The MP said: "We have complete respect for those who try to keep us informed and updated. Information and freedom of the press is a social achievement and must be protected.

Political disagreements and dialogue is a necessary element of our democracy, which are not touched by acts that blacken and taint freedom of information."
