Vladimir Linderman, one of the organizers of the referendum in Latvia on the status of Russian as a second state language, wrote about this on his Facebook page. This is how he commented on today’s news that the TV channel’s accounts in British banks Russia Today have been blocked.
“Those in Russia who wildly rejoiced at England’s exit from the EU are not very well versed in real politics. Having left the European Union, Britain got rid of (or will get rid of) some legal standards that the EU adheres to. Within the framework of these standards, it is not so easy to ban Russian television broadcasting in Europe. And in England now it’s easy,” writes Linderman.
He recalled that the British authorities accuse Ben Stimson, who was a militiaman in the DPR, of terrorism, although the European Parliament rejected the resolution recognizing the Donbass republics as “terrorist organizations.”
“Britain after Brexit is in no way bound by this decision. I already wrote once that European nationalisms should be treated selectively. Some of them coincide with the interests of Russia (“National Front” in France, for example), some do not,” Linderman wrote.
Let us remind you that today it became known that the accounts of the Russian TV channel RT were closed in the UK. RT channel editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan reported this on her Twiiter microblog.
“Our accounts in the UK were closed. All accounts. The decision is not subject to revision,” Simonyan said.
