Today various press unions and journalists demonstrated outside the Journalists' Union of the Athens Daily Newspapers (ESIEA) at noon.

It's been eight months since the sudden and shocking decision by the prime minister to shut down public broadcaster (ERT) and the controversy is still alive and well. On Wednesday, the Council of State delivered its positive ruling on the constitutionality of the closure.

The urgent decision to reimburse fired public broadcaster ERT employees, signed by alternate finance minister Hristos Staikouras was posted on the government e-government website.
