Dan Voiculescu, a.k.a. "Doctor Felix"- got mad at daily "Evenimentul zilei" for publishing the testimonials of Stelian Negrea about the clauses included in the service contracts of the journalist working for the Intact media group (owned by the two daughters of Voiculescu). Their contracts stipulate that employees would be required to pay damages of 100,000 Euros in case they wrote anything that might discredit the current or future management of the group.

Doctor Felix felt he just had to issue a press release from his senatorial office of Bucharest, in which he threatens "Evenimentul zilei" that he is going to sue and ask for damages of 1 million Euros.

Let"s forget for a moment that the Press release misspelled the name of the paper ("EveRnimentul Zilei"); I can"t help but wonder why is Felix threatening to sue the newspaper, instead of Stelian Negrea?!

"I am considering the possibility of going to court and asking for 1 million Euros in damages from Evernimentul Zilei, an amount which I will donate to the Foundation for the Defense of Citizens against State Abuse", the press release says.

Does he feel like he"s been defamed?

Just sue already!, what is he still reviewing?!

Is his head really working?

If it were, he would have realized that he couldn"t have timed his press release any worse, even if he tried (issued as a senator, no less): just one day after the World Press Freedom day, a thing which really discredits him as a politician.

Let him sue us!

The press release is issued on the second day after the draft for the Law of the Press has been submitted, which only comprises five articles, of which the first states:

"Art. 1 - (1) In Romania, the press is free. Any form of censorship is forbidden.

(2) Any type of obstruction, including by lawsuit, in
