Reporters without Borders signal aggression against journalists in EU, including Romania
In Romania, according to the report, almost every month local press freedom defenders register an aggression case against a journalist. The report even mentions the incident in which Romania's President Basescu brutally took a journalist's phone from her. Even though the journalist received her phone back, she was called names by the President.
Freedom House considers that Romania's press freedom is declining and the Romanian press was classed partially free, according to Romanian monitoring agency Rador. Thus, in its last analysis, Romania was downrated by four positions to reach 94.
