“Firea, Olguta and Dancila have left”

The president of the Committee on Culture, Art, Media of the Chamber of Deputies, USR deputy Iulian Bulai, affirms this Saturday that “TVR1 had a New Year’s Eve program full of tricks to address everything that a pandemic means: mask , vaccine, danger, protection, social distancing ”, which cost 140,000 euros.

In addition, he notes that the program promoted “people declared fanatical of conspiracy theories”, such as Dan Bittman and Mugur Mihaiescu. “I will call the representatives of the CNA to Parliament to offer us a point of view,” announced Bulai, specifying that “Doina Gradea must leave TVR.”

“In the last 7 months, the Romanian government has given the private media around 40 million euros, to write about the government measures taken against the pandemic. I have constantly questioned the ineffectiveness of this measure.

Two days ago, with our money, on New Year’s Eve, TVR1 had a program full of jokes about everything that pandemic means: mask, vaccine, danger, protection, social distance. With people declared fanatical of conspiracy theories, “Iulian Bulai wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

He claims that nothing more counterproductive could be done.

“You spend 40 million euros a year to inform the world (inefficiently), but you allow misinformation about public money on public television in the midst of the pandemic. In prime time. New Years Eve. That is, you sabotage the measures to prevent the spread of the disease.

Soon I will call the representatives of the NAC to Parliament so that they offer us a point of view on this situation ”, also wrote the president of the Committee on Culture, Arts, Media of the Chamber of Deputies.

Bulai believes that “Doina Gradea must leave TVR and take with her the PSD partners who have remained there.” “Firea, Olguta and Dancila are gone,” he said.

“We met in a regular session in February and started cleaning up,” Bulai concluded in his Facebook post.

Previously, he announced, also on Facebook, that the New Year’s Eve program on TVR 1 cost 140,000 euros.

“Cheap New Year’s theater cost the Romanian state 140,000 euros. Huge. TVR must be reformed or abolished. We have no other options. I support the first option. And I fight for it,” Bulai wrote on Facebook.
