A weird moral issue has suddenly arisen yesterday, after the Ponta government approved amendments to the Law of the Audiovisual, through an Emergency Ordinance, amendments which free the radio and TV stations from the slavery which the advertising agencies were keeping them in.

The decision is just, and I praise it with joy and admiration.

My moral issue comes from the fact that the amendments I praise were apparently initiated by Dan Voiculescu.

Advertising agencies each reunite a number of advertisers - in
