Maria Ressa after being condemned: "Democracy is slowly dying"




After being condemned on Monday for cyber-defamation, the well-known Philippine journalist Maria Ressa assures in an interview with EFE that "democracy is slowly dying" not only in the Philippines of Rodrigo Duterte, but throughout the world with the "rise of leaders populist, authoritarian and fascist. "

Ressa has become the standard-bearer for press freedom in the Philippines, where journalists, especially those from Rappler - an influential portal she has run since 2012 - are on the receiving end of network attacks by the armies of trolls who work at the pro-Duterte propaganda service.
