Romanian Journalists Association urges Romanian President Traian Basescu to appologize to all journalists who are honest for a fierce attack on the media that he launched on Friday, a press release of the association reads. If the Head of State will fail to present his excuses, the association argues it would support every active journalist in Romania to sue the President due to his declarations on March 14.

Moreover, the press release reads that for every bad journalist, there are hundreds of other who are honest and work hard - and have been ignored by Basescu. Moreover, the association points the Basescu, as President is compelled to protect the freedom of the press.

On Saturday, President Basescu declared that he did not intended to attack the whole press but just that corporate part of it that he named "machines with euro". On Friday, Basescu talked as a member of the Basescu family and attacked the main press trusts that ridiculized his daughter's newly created political image and for publishing reports that he allegedly committed abuses while in office years ago.
