Another banner to protest. I’m thinking about create an special section in my homepage
Minister of Industry of Spanish govern, Mr. Montilla, some press near Catalonian nationalism and the Autonomous govern of Catalonia are attacking the Spanish Catholic Episcopal Conference Radio, the COPE and its journalists. They are making administrative (they are writing dossiers) and economic (they are pressing to Catalonian enterprises that advertise in the radio) pressure on this station because journalists are critizing the reform of the Autonomy Statute of Catalonia.
Remember former Autonomous govern of Catalonia closed COPE’s station at Barcelona, but justice courts forced them to allow COPE broadcast again.
I don’t know if COPE has reason to his critizism, but I think is dangerous a govern that tries to shut up journalists. There’s a campaign to send e-mails to Catalonian Audiovisual Council in hazteoir.org.

updated 4/11/5: Josep Antoni Durán i Lleida, nationalist and democristian (¿?) put the blame on Cope in his speech in the Spanish Parliament. He seized his intervention in the debate about Catalonian statute.
Bad times for freedom of expression…
