The poisoned pattern – Sorin Rosca Stanescu – Ziua – read here -
“When state prosecutors commit abuses against some public persons, those who point to such abuses are accused of political involvement in favor of the alleged victims or guilty. In their turn, those who criticize prosecutors blame political pressure for prosecutors' lamentable action. These days President Traian Basescu has been insistently claiming the need for equal treatment for common citizens and high officials. This is why I am analyzing a different kind of example today, but one leading to the same conclusion: among prosecutors there has proliferated a practice such as doing their job superficially, applying the law of force and sacrificing the force of law. The fact that Cristian Cioaca, the husband of missing Elodia, was deprived of freedom is a typical example of the kind, sealed even by the court. And this poisoned pattern is spreading”.POLITICS

Sorin Rosca Stanescu promoted – R.I.P. – Ziua – read here -“There has lately been rumor claiming that Sorin Rosca Stanescu, general manager of ZIUA, is 'leaving'. It is just that he is not leaving, for he has been promoted to a superior position. He is not leaving the press. On the contrary, he will enjoy a superior rank in a media group. It is to be added that Adrian Patrusca is to continue as ZIUA editor-in-chief. Sorin Rosca Stanescu is doing away with the rumor that he is leaving the press. He has been promoted to an important position and he is going to continue as a founder and editorialist of our daily. Upon his proposal, the ZIUA deputy editor Mihai Palsu has become a publisher of ZIUA. It is to be outlined that, to rumor spreaders' displeasure, Sorin Rosca Stanescu has managed a successful transfer without causing disputes among the ZIUA journalists or owners”.
