Blocking channel bank accounts "RT France" in France

Today, Friday, RT France reported that his bank accounts in France were frozen at the request of the French authorities.

And the Le Monde newspaper wrote that the freezing of the channel’s accounts was carried out at the request of the main treasury of the French Ministry of Finance according to the “affiliation criterion”.

“We have received a letter from our bank to freeze RT France accounts at the request of the French authorities in connection with the ninth package of sanctions against Russia, which was adopted in December last year,” said Ksenia Fedorova, head of RT France. .

“Despite the fact that RT France is not on the list and has the right to operate in France, such a decision already paralyzes our activities. It is clear that the very fact of our presence angered the (French) authorities, ”she added. .

President of the European Union of Journalists Ricardo Guterres said earlier that the ban on Russian media in the European Union, including the RT channel and the Sputnik agency, “creates a dangerous precedent that threatens the freedom of the press.”
