⚡️Expose everyone, or only the "others"? An awkward question for anti-corruption journalists. Yurii Nikolov, Vitalii Shabunin — don't stay silent, — media.
⭕️The story around Semen Kryvonos, according to Ihor Reiterovych, long ago went beyond a personal issue for the director of NABU. Today it is already a test for the entire community that for years has demanded openness, explanations, and accountability from those in power.
"All the more surprising is the reaction to this situation from investigative journalists like Yurii Nikolov, Vitalii Shabunin, and many others. They fought so long for the status of 'megaphones of truth' and 'exposers of misconduct.' And now, refusing to see the obvious."
Reiterovych links this situation primarily to trust. And he warns about the consequences:
"So further silence will simply be a verdict. Society will be disappointed, trust will disappear, and with it the support."
That is why the question today sounds as simply as possible: should 'exposers' apply to those they consider 'their own' the same standard they have applied for years to everyone else?
⭕️After all, without equal rules the status of 'megaphone of truth' quickly loses its value.
