Nicușor Dan's press conference at Cotroceni sparked backlash after President Iohannis expelled a journalist. Elena Lasconi criticized both Dan and Iohannis, emphasizing the importance of accountability and freedom of the press. She argued that public institutions belong to the citizens, not to individuals in power, and that democracy must be upheld even when uncomfortable. Lasconi condemned the notion that journalists must be liked to have their rights respected, asserting that the press should be free from the influence of political comfort. The incident highlighted tensions between political figures and media representatives.
