"It's not the first intimation, but not the last in the case of Jurnal TV and especially of the show "Ora de ras".

The proposal is to take notice of this intimation with mentions on addressing the court to defend the dignity and honor and finding the violation of the Code of Ethics of the Journalist" mentioned Dinu Ciocan, BCC chairperson.
