Ion Iliescu a interzis și el  ziariști la Cotroceni: episodul cu Evenimentul Zilei

Nicușor Dan has barred journalist Ovidiu Vanghele from attending press conferences at Cotroceni, echoing a similar incident from Ion Iliescu's presidency. During a recent press conference, Dan responded to Vanghele's critical question by announcing the ban, citing previous insults. This situation recalls the 1993-1994 ban on "Evenimentul Zilei" journalists by Iliescu, which was criticized for limiting public access to presidential activities. Ion Cristoiu, a journalist, argued that such bans undermine citizens' rights to information funded by their taxes. The historical context highlights ongoing tensions between media and political figures in Romania.
