🇷🇴 Elections seem to be the only topic of discussion these days, with people sharing their support or disapproval of last week's results. While an infinite number of issues need to be unpacked, from the wins of far-right parties across EU member states to the uncertainty of what the European Parliament elections mean for the future presidency of the European Commission, the grievances of minorities are not acknowledged. The Roma community encompasses a significant percentage of the population of EU member states, with approximately 10 to 12 million Roma in Europe, around 6 million live in the EU. In Romania, around 8.3% of the population are Roma. However, for the first time since 2004, no Roma representatives have been offered a seat in the only democratically elected body in the EU. Despite having one of the biggest communities of Roma citizens in the EU, the representation of the ethnic minority is lacking in all aspects in Romania. Not even a single candidate was Roma. This is a stark contrast with the representation of the Hungarian minority in the country, exemplified by the importance of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania in both local and European politics. 🗞️ Alexandra Drugescu-Radulescu in today’s newsletter. https://buff.ly/45s28aa #Romania #Roma #EuropeanCorrespondent

The suspension of New Era's Managing Editor, Johnathan Beukes, and the allegations made against him raises concerns about media freedom in Namibia. The stifling of independence or editorial judgment are worrisome. In this case, the accusations of insubordination and the demand for a specific editorial approach raise questions about the extent to which journalists can exercise their editorial independence. Media freedom encompasses the ability to report news objectively, even if it is critical of government or public institutions. When editors face disciplinary actions for their editorial choices, it is encroachment on media freedom. Journalists and media professionals must be able to report without undue influence or fear of repercussions. #MediaFreedom #JournalismEthics https://lnkd.in/dKk9cXgu

Ghana's constitution guarantees freedom of the press and of expression but both are under threat. The proliferation of politically affiliated media outlets, the increased harassment and intimidation of journalists and the financial constraints of media organizations are key issues. These challenges not only have an adverse effect on the media’s independence and professionalism, but also have far-reaching implications for the health of Ghana's democracy. Ahead of the upcoming elections in Ghana, DW Akademie asked experts to assess the situation and to make recommendations for improvements, including Sylvester Tetteh, Audrey Gadzekpo, Braimah Sulemana, and Samson Lardi Anyenini.
