Talk:Spilios Spiliotopoulos

Ban by the Media Association of Greece against Mr. Spiliotopoulos

The Media Association of Greece (ΕΣΥΕΑ) has declared an information ban on anything conserning Mr. Spiliotopoulos.

The Media Association of Greece did that in responce to Mr. Spiliotopoulos decision to cencor what the journalists in greece can write about the greek ministry of defence - mind you not the military or top secret stuff, but he did that in attempt to stop leakages about mismanagement and misappropriations which have been constiniously happening inside the ministry for the past 15 years. to this day, 6 months later after the ban, journalists are escorted by MPs everywhere they go within the ministry. The MPs are instructed to not let the journalists talk to any of the staff members. journalists are only allowed to fetch the daily press reports. if a journalists talks to any of the staff, uniform or otherwise, they are immediately escorted out of the building and reported to the security office of the minitry.

I'm asking this as a professional courtecy and as a sign of comradership to Greek journalists that are selectively affected by this policy of Mr. Spiliotopoulos (they are editors, too!). I kindly request that you do not add any more information to the article. Thank you.

Do not add any more information to the article? Censorship! --AI 00:31, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

As I said, I am asking this politely, as a courtesy and a sign of comradership. You are by no means oblidged to uphold it. Project2501a 01:50, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

I have nothing to add anyway. I don't know Spilios Spiliotopoulos. I just wanted to let you know that your request is contrary to Wikipedia policy: BE BOLD! :) --AI 03:40, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Projects2501a, can you give us a little bit of information on why this is happening in Greece? Is it for the sake of Greece's national security? --AI 03:40, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Sure, i can give additional information. you'll just have to wait till after 9pm UTC. It's 1:30pm right now ( UTC+1 I live in greece). I f you could just bare with me till tonight: I have gym and a German class (Ich spreche das Deutsch :) and then i got to do a little work with a client - got to make that money. So, I'll give you a full description tonight :) But the short is, no, it's not for the sake of national security. it's for the sake of security of palm oil/kickbacks.
