The sudden closure in 2013 of the Greek public broadcaster ERT for economic reasons shocked many. On February 8th, during his policy speech to the new Greek parliament, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced legislation would be passed to reopen ERT, calling the closure “a crime against the Greeks and against democracy.” On the 27th the government announced that a bill to reopen ERT would be presented to Parliament in early March. It specifies “those laid off on June 11th 2013 may return to work if they want.”
