In a few hours one of Sofia’s symbolic squares changed its name: “Journalist Square” became “Censored Square” in an action by the Association of European Journalists – Bulgaria. The collective action was dedicated to the invisible pressure on freedom of speech. Through installations, testimonies and real stories of journalists subjected to judicial, political and economic pressure, AEJ-Bulgaria made visible the mechanisms of censorship that usually remain hidden. Journalists are often subject to threats, phone calls, “SLAPP cases”, pressure from advertisers, and the systematic silencing of critical voices.
