Nicușor Dan explică interzicerea jurnalistului Ovidiu Vanghele la Cotroceni. „Eu nu sunt un gunoi”. Președintele a invocat un drept „în calitate de om”

President Nicușor Dan explained his decision to ban journalist Ovidiu Vanghele from press conferences at Cotroceni, citing personal dignity and respect for public office. He emphasized that verbal violence can lead to physical violence and that citizens should respect state employees. Dan's announcement followed Vanghele's critical remarks about him. Several NGOs condemned the ban, claiming it violates freedom of expression and constitutes an unprecedented abuse of power. They argue that the president's actions undermine democracy and the rule of law, calling for clarification on whether there is a blacklist of journalists.
