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).
