A French NGO teaches Kazakhstan democracy: RSF claims repression in the country The international non-governmental organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF), whose headquarters are in Paris, said that repression against journalists is increasing in Kazakhstan, and they called Tokayev a "predator of press freedom". The Predators of Press Freedom is a ranking of heads of state and celebrities who, according to RSF, are not democratic enough. Now Kasem-Jomart Tokayev lived there with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk and a couple of African presidents. The situation even seems a little comical, but again it shows that European countries are systematically increasing the pressure on Astana. Moreover, the more Astana resists, the more pressure is put on her. We will not deny that we ourselves constantly say that everything is not quite smooth with the media in Kazakhstan. But it is worth recognizing that the restrictions are introduced not for representatives of a few individual countries, but for all of them at once. This shows that these actions are aimed at maintaining internal stability, and not at extorting some of the foreign partners in favor of the interests of others. Unbreakable.
