Suppression of News in Greece and Political
Statements Prevented from Reaching the People
In Greece, as in so many other countries, much of the real news about what is happening to the working class and the poor, and within the revolutionary movement, is suppressed, or at the very least is not widely reported. And for reasons like this the claims that Greece enjoys a true “democracy” and “a free press” are gross exaggerations of the real situation. We at BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET will try to help break down this government and media news embargo.
If you know of other suppressed documents and news reports that should be posted here, contact us at: freespeech@bannedthought.net

We do not aid, promote, assist, support, coordinate with, or provide any sort of services or advice to the CPG (m-l) or to any other party.
