"FoNet news agency strongly condemns the new wave of an orchestrated spin campaign, fabricated in the propaganda centers of the government, by which the deputy editor-in-chief of FoNet, Tamara Skrozza, was once again most harshly placed in the context of dehumanization and death threats against the head of state", according to the statement of this agency published on the occasion of the latest attacks on Tamara Skrozz.
Skrozza, due to part of his statement in the television show "If I Were Someone", which is about the events of the night between October 5 and 6, 2000, broadcast on N1 television at the beginning of June this year, after almost two months, at the end of July, already was exposed to barrages of attacks from power centers and media satanization.
Vučić's controversial statement and propaganda film
Despite the fact that Scrozza's statement was taken out of context and that she did not mention anyone's name and position, nor did she call for violence, the head of state found it appropriate to mention her name on several occasions in the TV Pink daily on Monday evening, without immediate reason. negative context.
An additional threat and jeopardy to Skroza's security was represented by a propaganda film, broadcast during the conversation with the President of Serbia, in which, in addition to her, United Media journalists, activists and representatives of the opposition were also targeted.
With the explanation that the President of Serbia is exposed to dehumanization and threats to his life, the government's propaganda apparatus and state officials constantly create an atmosphere of confrontation with dissenters, as shown by the continuation of dangerous attacks on Skrozza.
Attacks as a means of spinning
Whenever there are great temptations, the government, media power centers and spin doctors, in order to distract the public's attention, increase the production of enemies from among those who are recognized for critical thinking, professional and ethical journalism, like Skrozza.
In the event of any further attacks on Skrozza and possible consequences that may result from it, the FoNet News Agency will hold the protagonists from the government circles responsible, and then their media contractors.
The FoNet news agency will inform the European Federation of Journalists, Reporters Without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists about the new attacks on Skrozza.
The Ministry of Information on the side of the tabloids
The wave of misinformation and threats was started by Informer, with the text that appeared on the front page of the printed edition on July 5, in which it was stated that Skrozza called for the murder of Aleksandar Vučić.
The headline stated that Skrozza stated that "Vučić should have been killed on October 5".
A few days later, the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications in its statement does not mention the regime tabloid that draws a target on Skrozzi's forehead, but it is accused of "hate speech."
The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications assessed that it is "difficult to escape the impression" that Skrozza, in the part of the quoted statement that refers to the fact that Serbia should have been left "without some people" and that that night should have been "something like that what we learned in the history books" - "implicitly expressed regret that in those dramatic circumstances some state officials were not deprived of their lives".
The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications also emphasized that any subsequent clarification of that "quite clear statement would represent loading into Ms. Skrozza's words what they originally did not contain."
"Taking into account this example of hate speech and/or calls to, i.e. expressing regret for the missed opportunity to commit violence, as well as numerous others with which the public, and especially the media, space is filled, the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications once again appeals to everyone to refrain from statements that explicitly or implicitly represent hate speech or a call to violence." the ministry announced.
