Brynn Brother is watching you?

The Financial minister of Brynnland, Hugo Bolivar, gave us an exclusive interview about the current co-operation between the sector of media and the government of Brynnland.

Is the freedom of the press in Brynnland in danger? Some recent events suggested this idea: When The Brynn took a photo of Brynnland´s working members of parliament, one Brynnland member protested saying that no photos were allowed. Another example is when, after The Brynn article, we heard one Brynnland official say that from now on they were not going to co-operate with The Brynn and say anything to them in future. The Brynn even published the provocative statement “Brynn Brother is watching you!”.
Therefore we, the Media Watchdogs, felt that it was time to demand an official statement from Brynnland´s government.

During our interview the Financial minister of Brynnland, Hugo Bolivar, only praised the work of the press and spoke of a very good relationship between the government and the press in general: “we are happy to have such excellent newspapers in Eutropia.”
However, he as well acknowledged that there have ocurred some “misunderstandings”, as he called it: “Sometimes we are unhappy about some misrepresentations”. Bolivar stated that in some cases deeper investigations would be more helpful.
According to the Financial minister of Brynnland, the government at least is not planning to place more restrictions on the press: “the freedom of the press is an important good in our country and absolutely necessary for our democratic country”.

Nevertheless, we want to emphasize that a free press has the right to report on the government as it sees fit. We will not tolerate any government that tries to publicly intimidate and muzzle the press.

We feel by taking the advice of intensifying the co-operation, both, the press and the governments, will achieve their aims easier. Therefore, we hope that Brynnland´s government will put into practice what Bolivar anncounced offcially:
“We always will be willing to cooperate with the press as long as it keep its integrity.”
