       The situation at the Hellenic Community is tragic. The Board
       of Directors has lost control over their Public Relations
       Employee and the latter is misleading the executives to act in
       a manner which is outright wrong.
       
       Last October, the president of the Hellenic Community was given to sign
       an improvised Media Audit informing our Media, that after "evaluation"
       we did not meet their "criteria" for popularity (readership,
       listenership and viewership), among other ad-hoc parameters, and
       proceeded to blacklist us.
       
       The Hellenic Community of Montreal is not an Media Audit Bureau to
       undertake such evaluation, nor in a position to measure it -- or
       comment as a matter of fact.
       
       The president, unfortunately, signed that improvised Media Audit,
       without necessarily understanding the contents. Ultimately, it's his
       signature, and unfortunately he is legally responsible.
       
       Because that Ad-hoc denigrating "Media Evaluation" was condemned
       publicly by all major Greek Media, last week the Public Relations
       Employee presented another plan to specifically "exclude" us from
       reporting Board of Director Meetings and General Assemblies.
       
       Therefore, we will no longer be able to report (Radio, TV and newspaper)
       on community events, to YOU, our readers, which the out-of-control
       Public Relations Employee of the Hellenic Community of Montreal,
       "evaluated" that you are not important!
       
       Furthermore, on Saturday January 11 2020, the Public Relations Employee
       of the Hellenic Community of Montreal called CFMB 1280 AM, and divulged
       on public airwaves confidential business information related to
       advertising of XPONIKA newspaper, without our knowledge and/or consent.
       
       The underlying problem is the out-of-control Public Relations
       Employee misleading the Board of Directors to satisfy his revenge
       goals, in the name of the Hellenic Community of Montreal, without
       taking into consideration, that his personal vendetta is putting
       the organization at risk.
       
       It's very unfortunate the Board of Directors allow an out-of-control
       Public Relations Employee to mislead an entire community organization,
       and insult YOU, the readers, as not of significant importance, motivated
       by revenge, to satisfy his personal vendetta.
