Tsikkini Responds to Karsera's Letter, Defending Facebook Posts as Freedom of Expression

Nikoletta Tsikkini has responded in detail to a letter from Filippa Karsera, through her lawyers, regarding 13 of her Facebook posts. The response categorically rejects the allegations of defamation and argues that her posts constitute an exercise of her right to freedom of expression, protected by the Constitution and case law. Tsikkini accuses Karsera of attempting to silence and intimidate her, exploiting the power imbalance between them. She points out that criticism of public figures is legitimate and protected, while Karsera's action is considered to aim at preventing Tsikkini's participation in public dialogue. The letter analyzes each post individually, demonstrating that they do not contain defamatory elements.
