Independent MP George Becali reacted aggressively to journalist Oana Manițiu, insulting her during a phone call regarding his wealth declaration. Instead of answering questions about his eight cars, he used derogatory language, questioning her right to contact him. This incident adds to a history of public outbursts by Becali, who has faced sanctions for similar behavior in the past. The publication Context condemned his actions, emphasizing the journalist's role in seeking information for a public interest investigation. Previous incidents include derogatory remarks towards journalists and sexist comments about women in football. Becali returned to Parliament in December 2024 as an independent after leaving AUR.
