Late last week, Ilan Sor, Mayor of Orhei and leader of the political party ‘Şor’, posted a video message on Facebook, insulting and threatening the inconvenient journalists, saying he would settle accounts with them after coming in power.

How can this speech be characterized, what consequences can it have and what should be done to prevent such situations from becoming common? These questions, as well as others, were addressed on the Media Azi show by moderator Nadine Gogu and her guest Cornelia Cozonac, President of the Center for Investigative Journalism.

The investigative journalist also referred to possible reasons that generated the attack by the politician, the subject being analysed also from the point of view of guaranteeing the right to freedom of expression.
