Former ERT journalists slam deputy culture minister for attempting to divide them

Former journalists at defunct public broadcaster ERT who are continuing their sit-in protest at the headquarters of the former national television and radio network in the suburb of Aghia Paraskevi, northern Athens, have accused Deputy Culture Minister Pantelis Kapsis of seeking to divide them.
