Holdis on Freedom of Information in Romania
October 22, 2020
Right to information suffers further in Romania during the pandemic, as it became even harder for journalists to access information, our Fellow, Dumitrita Holdis writes in her article for the International Press Institute.
“In Romania, the right to access information is often an intricate affair for journalists and citizens alike. Testimonies written in the Bucharest and regional-based press depict arbitrary refusals from authorities to release the requested data, unjustified delays and convoluted bureaucratic procedures that often end up in court,” she writes.
