The First Speech

 

The loss of freedom is never obvious at first.

“2024 is a pivotal point for democracy worldwide. While some countries may gain more freedom, others face the risk of losing it.

As Reporters Without Borders Germany celebrates its 30th year anniversary, we want to remind everyone that free press is vital to keep democracy and human rights alive.

In historical moments like these, it’s especially important to keep a close eye on autocrats disguised as democrats.

Trust the free press. Not pretty words.”
