"Unfortunately, a system of draconian censorship operates in Romania, the like of which does not exist in any of the European Union’s Member States. I am referring to an absurd institution called the National Audiovisual Council.
This is a Stalinist monstrosity which, flying in the face of all reason, would even ban such great writers as Cervantes, Goethe, Byron, Balzac, Cesar Pavese and Adam Mickiewicz, if they were still alive today. This rabble effectively terrorises independent television stations. I would compare this council to an elephants’ graveyard from which a few ‘zombies’ emerge, under the remote political control of a declining dictatorship which imposes crippling financial penalties on those programmes that allow opposition parties to voice certain truths.
Help us get rid of the despotic mandarins from the National Audiovisual Council and restore to Romania the biggest victory it won in the year of revolution in 1989: freedom of the press."@en1
