Host: Cansu Çamlıbel | Guest: MEP Nacho Sánchez Amor
In this thirty-first episode, host Cansu Çamlıbel invites Nacho Sánchez Amor, the European Parliament's rapporteur on Turkey, to discuss Turkey’s newly adopted “disinformation” law and its potential ramifications as well as the systemic impediments to Turkey’s becoming a mature democracy and the European Union’s role in assessing the progress of Turkey in the European Union accession process.
Çamlıbel highlighted the law’s lack of definition of “deceptive information” as a key problem. As the task of defining “disinformation” in each case falls upon an individual judge, given the lack of judicial independence in Turkey, the government’s arbitrary power to criminalize critical speech is likely to increase. In response, Amor stated that “the problem is the whole complete environment that has been designed to prosecute criticism”, with the “disinformation” law being “another turn of the screw of the authoritarian trend in Turkey”.
