Progressives accuse public broadcaster

Source: Beta, Tanjug

BELGRADE -- The ruling Serb Progressives (SNS) on Sunday accused the opposition Democratic Party (DS) of "using the national broadcasting service (RST) for smear attacks."

These "attacks" are launched against the party and its leader Aleksandar Vui, said a statement, and with the goal of "humiliating the new government and the reputation of Vui."

"The SNS is not complaining about anything, but we wish to inform citizens that the RTS, instead of being a public service of all citizens, serves as a daily ground for launching dirty attacks on SNS President Aleksandar Vui."

The opposition Democrats (DS) then issued a statement of their own, saying that the accusations were "incredible", considering that for the past two years, the RTS audience "could only watch a promotion of the Serbian government, the SNS, and Vui himself."

The DS added that the Progressives were "continuing their fight against imaginary enemies," and that they, despite achieving absolute power, "still wish to control the media."

Reacting to this, the SNS issued another release, saying that the DS, "in cooperation with some people employed by the RTS," was using the public service to attack Vui and his party, while DS leader Dragan ilas "could not refrain from commenting, as for years he has been known for exerting a direct influence on the media's editorial policy."

In separate releases, the Journalists' Association of Serbia (UNS) and the Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia (NUNS) voiced their concern over the SNS statement, saying that the party criticized the RTS's editorial policy without providing any concrete objections or examples.

The two associations assessed that the ruling party's move was "a classic example of pressure against the RTS and media freedoms, and intimidation of journalists."

BELGRADE -- Dragan ilas said in parliament on Sunday that Aleksandar Vui did not present a new, but rather "a reshuffled government."

APC warns FG against sacking Adamawa, Yobe, Borno govs

The All Progressives Congress has warned the federal government against sacking the APC governors and other elected political officials in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.

APCs Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated that it would not be in the interest of Nigeria for the Federal Government to sack those elected officials.

He also warned those he described as attempting to stampede President Goodluck Jonathan into such action, to have a rethink.

He spoke to journalists in Ilorin on Sunday on the sidelines of the emergence of APC Kwara State executives.

Mohammed said, The extension of the emergency rule will be between the President and the National Assembly.

The President cannot declare the emergency without securing two third majority of members of the National Assembly. There are certain issues to be considered by the National Assembly before they would grant the extension.

What is more worrisome is the call by some people to the effect that the democratic structures in those states should be dismantled and that the governors should be sacked.

When and how does a governor become an impediment to fighting insurgency? On the contrary, he cannot fight insurgency when the political structure is not in place.

So I hope those who are trying to stampede the President into sacking those governors will have a rethink because if they do, the consequences will not be in the interest of either the people you want to protect or the country.

The APC spokesman also advised the federal government to reach out to all governors in the country as a potent strategy to addressing the countrys insecurity challenges having gotten their assurances after the expanded security meeting.
