Romania’s National Audiovisual Council (CNA) has issued the maximum fine of 200,000 lei (approximately $44,000 USD) to Realitatea Plus television. The sanction stems from excessive promotion of political commentator Călin Georgescu during March broadcasts. The CNA determined the channel devoted disproportionate airtime to Georgescu, raising concerns about promotional imbalance. This decision follows a previous meeting where initial sanction proposals failed to gain sufficient support. Critics allege a coordinated campaign to elevate Georgescu’s profile on the network. The fine represents a significant penalty under Romanian broadcasting law, highlighting the CNA's commitment to upholding media regulations. The case has sparked debate about potential political motivations and fairness in media coverage.
