Two television stations that attacked each other in the election campaign now agree against the Recorder and the protesters
Romania TV and Realitatea TV criticized the protests that started after the broadcast of the documentary “Captured Justice”, made by Recorder.
“They didn't protest for taxes and the cancellation of democracy” and “Who financed the criminal assault on justice”, were the slogans that the viewers of the two TV stations read on Friday evening, when thousands of people protested in Piața Victoriei in the Capital, following the revelations in the documentary, writes Pagina de Media.
Romania TV “unleashed” and presented a material that said about Recorder that it is a “press gang” financed by businessmen close to General Coldea, writes the cited source.
On the same television, Silviu Mănăstire called the film “a propaganda documentary” and references were made to Dragoş Vîlcu, one of the founders of Recorder, “whose father was an ambassador and whose grandfather founded the foreign intelligence service”.
In the same evening, Realitatea TV had a problem with the demonstrators in Piață, who did not protest “for taxes and the cancellation of democracy”.
It is not the first time that the two stations are in agreement in recent days, Pagina de Media notes. And on Thursday, on the day of the press conference at the Court of Appeal, Realitatea TV and Romania TV had the same message: “Reply for the resisters who attack in a pack”, respectively “The pack attack of the resisters to seize justice”.
Attacks in electoral campaigns
Romania TV, the station owned by Sebastian Ghiță, launched in the election campaign a harsh attack on the Realitatea Plus star Anca Alexandrescu, who strongly supported Călin Georgescu, candidate in the presidential elections.
In March 2025, the moderator Dragoş Bistriceanu spoke about “how Alexandreasca lured Georgescu into a trap” and accused her of “capturing the image of Călin Georgescu”. Then, there followed the reports regarding Anca Alexandrescu's supposed “undercover officer” quality: “Which structures does Anca Alexandrescu belong to” and “Anca Alexandrescu, accused of being an undercover officer”.
Then, Romania TV also contacted Anca Alexandrescu. She had a short intervention at Ghiță's station and said: “See you at CNA”.
The dispute between the two positions continued on March 26, the day Călin Georgescu's supporters participated in a demonstration in the Constitution Square for the former candidate in the presidential elections.
In the messages published on the bulletin boards, Realitatea Plus accused Romania TV that “Ghiţă's hooligans want to divide the sovereignists on Georgescu's birthday”, while Romania Tv attacked: “I caught them lying! The images that expose them” and “The lies with which they mock Călin Georgescu”.
Before the elections at the Capital's City Hall, where Anca Alexandrescu ran and came second, TV presenter Victor Ciutacu, from Romania Tv, sent her a message.
“If they release the data from her Nordis customer account to the prosecutor, Mrs. Marş will end her successful campaign at the bottom of the court. But they will do nothing but on orders. At the moment, however, the order of the day at the unit is to steal votes from Băluţă. To give Drula a leg up. Of course, she is fighting, in her own verbal delusions, with the parallel state. The one with whom Maricel is negotiating on her back. When it will no longer be useful, they will give it to the boys on the ice”, Victor Ciutacu wrote on Facebook in November, after a Recorder investigation that shows that Anca Alexandrescu was on trips paid for by Nordis.
