The letter is also signed by the likes of Indian novelist and activist Arundhati Roy, activist and author Naomi Klein and artist Tom Morello. From Oliver Stone to Noam Chomnsky, highly influential international artists and intellectuals published a letter condemning the impeachment process against suspended Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff Thursday.

Παράλληλα, εξαπέλυσε επίθεση στον υπουργό Επικρατείας, Νίκο Παππά για τις τηλεοπτικές άδειες τονίζοντας πως «οι επιχειρήσεις των καναλιών έχουν απαχθεί από τον κ. Παππά, ο οποίος ζητάει λύτρα με αυτή τη διαδικασία που κάνει για να πάρουν πίσω οι επιχειρηματίες την επιχείρησή τους» Φυσικά, δεν βρήκε μία λέξη να πει για το γεγονός ότι επί 27 χρόνια οι επιχειρήσεις αυτές δεν έχουν πληρώσει ούτε ένα σεντ για τη χρήση δημοσίων συχνοτήτων Δείτε το βίντεο: Πηγή: http://www.analystsforchange.org/2016/08/blog-post_176.html
