Potami leader says new bill on TV licenses grants Minister Pappas too much power

Potami party leader Stavros Theodorakis accused State Minister Nikos Pappas on Tuesday of granting too many powers on himself through the new draft bill on TV licenses currently being discussed in parliamentary committees, noting that he shouldn’t be the one to decide who gets a license.

“The country must stop drifting from one vested interest to another,” Theodorakis said in a statement.

“Potami says that with the new law on TV licenses prepared by State Minister Nikos Pappas, he ordains himself as the country’s grand TV channel owner. He decides the number of licenses, he decides the criteria,” he noted.
