EANA joins militaristic psychosis by expelling TASS — Russian MFA

Detailed summary

By expelling the agency, EANA showed that it is unable to uphold press freedom, Maria Zakharova said

MOSCOW, November 14. /TASS/. The European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA) succumbed to militaristic psychosis when it decided to expel TASS, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.

"This time, EANA’s leadership could not stay clear of the militaristic psychosis into which the European Union’s ruling class is dragging it. With this decision, the leadership ritually pledged allegiance to a policy of escalating tensions with Russia to please the gang of terrorists and murderers entrenched in Kiev," Zakharova stated.

By expelling the agency, EANA showed that it is unable to uphold press freedom, she added. "The alliance has shown that it is incapable of upholding the principles set out in its own statutes, namely supporting press freedom, fostering cooperation among European media organizations and defending their interests," Zakharova stressed.
