Fenomenul din presă remarcat de Emilia Șercan după publicarea dezvăluirilor despre Pahonțu: „De ce tac toate aceste televiziuni ca la comandă?”

Emilia Șercan criticizes major TV networks for their silence regarding Lucian Pahonțu's past with the Securitate and his involvement in historical events. She highlights the lack of coverage on this topic despite its public interest, suggesting external influences on media reporting. The investigation by Recorder revealed Pahonțu's role in suppressing protests during the 1989 Revolution and the 1990 miners' riots. While some networks eventually reported on the issue, many others remained silent, raising concerns about media independence and accountability. Former officials have called for Pahonțu's removal from SPP leadership following these revelations.
