Yanis Varoufakis on Julian Assange and the battle for press freedom

In this compelling video, Yanis Varoufakis articulates the significance of Julian Assange's possible extradition decision by Britain's High Court on February 20th and 21st. This moment will be a trial for the very soul of Britain's judicial system and its commitment to upholding press freedom and human rights across the globe.
Assange's case is a litmus test for our collective resolve to fight against the shadows cast by governmental misdeeds and the pivotal role of journalism in bringing them to light. Yanis Varoufakis calls upon each of us - citizens, politicians, and organisations alike - to not only voice our support for Assange during these critical days but to continue our vigilance and advocacy regardless of the outcome.
This video is a call to uphold the principles of transparency, justice, and dignity. Let us seize the day and ensure that our actions today write a history that future generations will look back upon with pride. Join DiEM25 in this pivotal fight for the cornerstone of democracy: Julian's freedom and the freedom of the press.

Desde las protestas pacíficas del 15-M del 2011, quedó patente la falta de medios plurales y libres que sirvan de contrapeso al poder y velen por la democracia! Julian Assange merece el agradecimiento y apoyo de toda la ciudadanía!
