The Liberal Party criticized the appointment of trustees to Halk TV and the suspension of its broadcasts in a statement published on its social media account. The party described the intervention as unacceptable in terms of press freedom and the public’s right to access information.

The statement noted that the repetition of interventions targeting media organizations in the past, which were subject to legal controversy, now in the case of Halk TV has increased concerns about the legal safeguards protecting media freedom and freedom of thought.

Emphasizing that “Press freedom is essential to democracy,” the Liberal Party stated that in a society where a free press is not protected, no one’s freedom of expression can be secure.
