Euronews has had a new editorial director for the past 3 weeks and he comes from Axel Springer’s German tabloid Bild.

Quote via Politico (ironically—owned by Springer):

“Strunz declarations on Twitter are worrying because this is not what you’d expect from the boss of Euronews, especially when he applauds [far right German party] AfD results as a sign of functioning democracy,” src

After Trump’s victory, Euronews shared, uncommented, a congratulations video from Orbán to Trump on its Instagram feed.

There is now an open letter from the Union representatives voicing concern about the staff’s journalistic freedoms (in French).

    That is possible too. But the union representatives complaining are probably not bought by Springer.
