Finnish Newspaper Greets Trump and Putin With Billboards Defending ‘Free Press’
遇上首都赫爾辛基街頭的抗議示感者，美國和俄羅斯總統受到冷嘲式招呼。
With protesters in the streets of Helsinki, U.S. and Russian presidents get cold and critical greeting in nation’s capital city.
July 16th, 2018
Like every other place the U.S. president has traveled in Europe over the last week, large protests also took place in the Finnish capitol of Helsinki on Sunday—a day ahead of a highly anticipated and much-hyped meeting with his Russian counterpart, President Vladimir Putin.
Both leaders were also greeted with a large billboard advertisement purchased by Helsingin Sanomat, the nation’s largest newspaper, which bashed the Trump and Putin as being enemies of journalism and a free press.
“This is a statement on behalf of critical and high quality journalism,” Kaius Niemi, the paper’s editor-in-chief said in a statement. “As we welcome the presidents to the summit in Finland, we want to remind them of the importance of free press.” He added, “The media shouldn’t be the lap dog of any president or regime.”
And the newspaper further explained their position, and the problematic records of both Trump and Putin, in this video:
