 În perioada cât am avut acreditare la Parlament (anii 1998-2011), în calitate de reporter la Radio Europa Liberă, apoi de corespondent la Agenția de știri NewsIn/București și ulterior la postul Radio România în R. Moldova - întotdeauna am avut acces direct și liber în sala de ședințe a legislativului. Este un lucru firesc, normal și democratic.
