Controversial government shutdown of ERT
The government dissolved ERT by ministerial decision on 11 June 2013, citing restructuring, cost, and audience concerns. The closure dismissed approximately 2,500 employees, triggered protests and continuing broadcasts by employees, drew criticism from the European Broadcasting Union, and was challenged before Greece's Council of State.
