Press freedom under threat

The Belgian writer Thomas Gunzig considers the European Press Freedom Day celebrated this week. "One tends to assume that the press is terrorised in Erythrea, North Korea and Turkmenistan. ... But, the good old methods of violence and intimation are back on home turf too. A few days ago Mehmet Koksal's excellent blog 'Humeur Allochtone' finally drew to a close. And yet this was good investigative journalism, tenacious, courageous, intelligent, free. Nothing but qualities...or defects, according to differing points of view. Mehmet Koksal spoke about everything and everyone, in other words he bothered more than a few, from all political backgrounds, shedding light on double-talk, hypocrisy and cynicism. ... He had followed the recent demonstrations of young Turkish extremists. This cost him a few punches and kicks in front of the American embassy in Europe's capital."

Linguistic ability or political qualities?

Writer Thomas Gunzig takes an ironic look at a comment made by a Brussels-based Flemish-speaking regional minister. She said: "Better to be an incompetent bilingual Flemish speaker than an ultra-competent monolingual French speaker." "Personally, I'd like to have a good, intelligent prime minister, with some sense of humour, a conscientious commitment to the 'res publica', a humane person but also a technocrat, who understands Belgium and the world, is determined, free of political and electoralist ulterior motives and fears, who is concerned with the common good, social rights, and dreams of progress. People will say, all that's a minimum. ... So, if you find someone like that, and even if he/she speaks only Icelandic, Arameic, or Lingala, that's fine, I'll take that person. Because a good prime minister is such a rare breed, that I'd willingly give him/her subtitles."
