The interview with the No Vax senator, then the “kidnapping” of the Tg1 crew. Goracci: ‘Beaten up’ Misadventure during the interview with Diana Iovanovici Șoșoacă: the Tg1 news crew remained ‘hostage’ to the senator. Envoy Lucia Goracci reports from Romania: ‘They were freed after hours thanks to the Italian embassy’.
Among the countries most affected by the fourth wave of Covid-19, Romania has a rather low percentage of vaccinated people compared to other European countries. Lack of trust in institutions and rampant misinformation on social media are just some of the causes that have slowed down the vaccination process. Against a red-bullet background of repeated record deaths, RAI journalist Lucia Goracci’s interview with No Vax senator Diana Iovanovici Șoșoacă ended in the worst possible way. The Tg1 crew was ‘kidnapped’ for hours and, despite police intervention, the situation was only brought under control by the Italian embassy.
Lucia Goracci asks the No Vax senator about the management of the pandemic in Romania. The wound is open and the politicians first seem to deny the deaths, then cast doubt on the pandemic by invoking a future Nuremberg Trial. The tension rises and the dialectical confrontation gives way to increasing nervousness. The Senator locked the door – her husband and some of his collaborators were present – and called the police: “Some people have broken into my office”. Goracci managed to get out and once outside she told the police everything, but on her return the situation degenerated. “Goracci complained that the police had not defended her, while the camera crew filmed and Șoșoacă put pressure on the police: ‘Delete all the images’. The search and ‘kidnapping’ ended eight hours later thanks to the intervention of the Italian Embassy. Usigrai’s communiqué: “Romania should apologise for the serious aggression against the Rai correspondent Lucia Goracci and her collaborators. If Bucharest is still Europe, such things must not happen. The Usigrai executive stated that the serious episode involved “a journalist who was kidnapped in the office of a No Vax senator during an interview, punched in front of the police who were supposed to protect her and then searched and detained for hours in the police station. We expect – concludes Usigrai – that the Italian government and the European Union will ask the Romanian government for explanations on what happened”.
A politician called the police to beat foreign journalists, am I reading this right? Seems **too** retarded, even by Balkan standards. Must be something more to it.
Romania, what the heck? 😀
WTF?!?
Need this whore sent to prison, what a disgraceful human being.
I’m a little thankful that Right-Wing loonies so rarely prove to have any subtlety whatsoever.Makes it easier to spot the really crazy or dangerous ones.
Wow, our no vax are lunatics, but this takes the cake as far as lunacy goes.
Can the senator be convicted for kidnapping?
Very intelligent to kidnap and beat journalists that are working for state owned television of an allied country. So smart it made intervene the embassy of that country.
The fact that the husband came and started punching the journalist is mind boggling.
What is wrong with these people?
Someone should put her in jail and throw away the key. She shouldn’t be a senator. Disgusting.

EU’s Alabama I guess?
There was probably a reason why he had to call the police? Locking in criminals until police arrives is not kidnapping. The full story with explanation from both sides would have been interesting.
God you guys, I am so sorry for her…
Great, so both my country and the country of my ancestors is crazy.
Fuck that swine of an excuse of a human being! Can’t wait to see her huge ass in jail or in the nuthouse.
Sosoaca is so crazy that even AUR, Romanias far right party, excluded here from the party last year, that`s how crazy this wacko is…
Holy shit Șoșoaica is at it again. She is partly responsible for low vax numbers.
​
Sadly, I (and most of Romania) are not shocked by her demeanour.
​
The good news is that she really is an outlier in the parliament, I think even AUR, the farthest right party in our country, kicked her out for being too boloney.
​
If you have questions, I can gladly answer them.
Before everyone gets more triggered:
It was INTENTIONALLY made to be an scandal.Why in the world would an foreign press agency would go to the #1 anti-vaxxer of an country to be informed about the state of Covid in that country?
Why not the the Health Minister?
Why not an renown medic?
Why not even the egomaniac Prime Minister?
I’m not taking either parts in this scandal,I’m just saying this entire conflict is fabricated and it’s overshadowing other more important problems.
Vergogna! Such an act should NEVER happen again! This is outrageous and disgusting!
>No Vax Senator
You mean batshit wacko senator
As a Romanian, I can agree that she is a human waste, absolute cunt, trash and that she should be in prison and outcasted from society.
Oh, by the way, she is indirectly responsible for the many covid deaths here, spreading misinformation about the virus… AND SHE IS STILL PRAISED FOR EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE.
Kick these assholes from the EU now!
Wait what?…Is this for real?…
This is wild
This is Romania for you. Just build a fence around us and protect yourselves from us
Wait I’m confused, the senator called the police? And the police beat up the journalist? What the fuck??
Most sane Romanian senator.
/unbalkan this is WTF even by r/2balkan4you standarts
Don’t associat Romania with that idiot woman please. She well end in prison i hope ! Love and peace from Romania.
Romanians are going up in their game. Now they can even steal real human beings!
