The highest administrative court in Greece says the government can proceed with the prime minister’s plan to replace the national broadcaster ERT with a much smaller regional set-up. From Athens, here’s Mark Lowen.

希腊最高行政法院称，政府可以实施总理的方案以较小的地区配置来取代全国广播公司ERT。马克·罗文报道。

The supreme administrative court has upheld the prime minister’s plan to replace ERT with a new broadcaster later this year. But the court also backed the position of the other coalition partners that the signal must be restored in the interim. Each side will claim victory, but in the end the unity of the government has been badly weakened. At the headquarters of ERT, there were celebrations at the news that the radio and television frequencies will be re-established. But there’s also the recognition that later this year many will lose their jobs as a new leaner cheaper national broadcaster is formed.

最高行政法院支持总理在今年晚些时候用新的广播公司取代ERT的计划，但法院还支持联盟其他政党的立场，即在过渡期间恢复信号。双方都自称获胜，但最后政府的统一性也受到严重损害。在ERT总部，恢复广播和电视频率的消息传来，一片欢庆。但同时他们也认识到，今年些时候很多人会失掉工作，并组建更精简成本更低的全国广播公司。
