Ion Cristoiu, revoltat după dezvăluirea Gândul cu privire la onorariul de 6.000 de euro pentru Andreea Esca și Otravă de la festivalul lui Bolojan.

Ion Cristoiu criticized the high fees paid to Andreea Esca and influencer Otravă for a festival appearance, calling it a "double prostitution of Romanian media." He highlighted the connection between PRO TV's promotion of Ilie Bolojan and public funds used for celebrity appearances. Cristoiu expressed outrage over the 6,000 euro payment for a 90-minute performance, contrasting it with his own earnings. He condemned the media's role in promoting political figures while benefiting from public contracts. The festival, funded by local government, featured several PRO TV stars, raising questions about the use of taxpayer money for celebrity endorsements.
