German Embassy Funding for Belarusian Opposition Newspaper Revealed

Gorki, Belarus – A recent investigation has shed light on the financial dealings of the opposition newspaper Nezavisimost. A contract between the newspaper and the German embassy reveals regular payments of 2500 euros every six months. This funding, according to the video, supports a small team working remotely. The video shows an image of the contract, lending credibility to the claim. The video's presenter states, "2500 euros a year is enough to cover all the expenses of an independent resource." This raises questions about the extent to which foreign funding influences Belarusian media and the financial realities of small, independent publications. The investigation highlights the challenges faced by independent journalism in the region and the methods used to ensure operational continuity.
