The functionaries of the Chisinau City Hall will ensure the access of the press to all the meetings of the specialised divisions following an ordinance issued by Mayor General Dorin Chirtoaca. At Monday’s meeting of the City Hall, Dorin Chirtoaca said that the reporters should have access at any hour and without a preliminary agreement. The mayor considers that the Chisinau press is not always very critical when it should if compared with the press in other democratic states. Warned by the functionaries attending the meeting that the materials broadcast by the press are not always objective and sometimes can be even tendentious, the mayor said that the officials should be patient and give a full answer to journalists’ questions. “I think that it is a matter of conscience, because people can read between the lines,” Dorin Chirtoaca said. The mayor’s ordinance came in response to a scandal that happened last week at the division for education and youth when the division head, Tatiana Tverdohleb, banned access to a meeting to a television crew. Dorin Chirtoaca requested the public servant to write an explanatory note to clarify the situation.
