Citizens protect ERT’s facilities
Around 8 pm on Sunday, in mount Ainos of the island Cephalonia, a magistrate, accompanied by the police and two private technicians of unknown expertise (and experience), approached the broadcasting centre and turned off the transmitter, jeopardizing the expensive equipment. In Cephalonia, they might have succeeded in turning off the analogue transmission and submerging into blackness and silence a big part of Western Greece, but it was their only success yesterday. Information about similar actions in other broadcasting centres mobilized the local entities and mainly citizens in Patra and Chania so a crowd of people rushed and formed a chain of safekeeping around the transmitters of both regions. Some left liberal parliamentarians were also present. With this coordinated action of solidarity the citizens of Patra and Chania protected their Radio, their property and showed that there is another way: the way of resistance which in many cases defines the winner.
