The new prefect of Bihor, Emilian Pavel, has approved a press accreditation regulation that imposes editorial rules on journalists. A memo from local press representatives calls for a review of these excessive requirements. The regulation mandates journalists to act with professionalism and respect, but the vague terms may lead to arbitrary interpretations. It also outlines how reporters should verify information and respect individuals' dignity. Critics argue that the accreditation process should be non-discriminatory and not based on expressed opinions. In response to the backlash, Pavel stated he would review the memo with legal advisors. This controversy follows his selective invitation to a press event, excluding critical journalists.
