An e-mail with worrying content arrived at the e-mail address of the editor of the “Mašina” portal. NUNS was informed about the incident itself, and after a joint analysis with “Mašina” a decision will be made on taking further legal measures.

Among other things, the following was written in the email:

“The media are even worse than artists, journalists in private media work for the rich who are with the authorities, and journalists in the state media work for the government and the secret service. Chomsky published a good book: media, propaganda and the system. Real leftists, German RAF guerrillas planted a bomb in the media company Axel Springer in Hamburg. Since you deal with media and art, you will always be alienated from the people.´´
