The Czech Republic initiated talks with EU partners about funding Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which is headquartered in the Czech capital, following cuts to US support.

Summary

Seven EU countries support a Czech proposal for the bloc to fund Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) after the U.S. cut its financial support.

The move follows Trump’s March 14 executive order directing U.S. agencies to reduce operations, leading to RFE/RL employees being placed on leave.

Germany and several Nordic and Baltic nations back the plan, calling RFE/RL vital for information in regions lacking democratic freedoms.

      To keep Radio Free Europe from degrading to the level of Russian propaganda, any and all fascist influence must be removed and kept out of its administration.
