Moldova-1 will broadcast correction to reportage about meeting of opposition party

The national television channel Moldova-1 will broadcast a correction to a reportage about a meeting of the Our Moldova Alliance (AMN), on Sunday, March 19, within the news bulletin at 19:00, the producer-general of the broadcasting company TeleRadio-Moldova Sergiu Batog told a sitting of the Board of Observers on Friday. According to a request to the Board of Observers and TeleRadio-Moldova administration, AMN says that the writer of the March 12 reportage both „misinformed and misrepresented and substituted the message of the peaceful protest meeting, mediating at the national level a violent call for „overthrowing the legally elected regime.” The party demands the immediate correction of this report. Batog noted that a special commission was created in the company to examine the situation and it reached the conclusion that a regrettable mistake was committed. Thus, it decided to broadcast the rectification in line with legislation in effect. Board of Observers chairman Iurie Tabarta regretted this incidence and said that TeleRadio-Moldova must draw necessary conclusions from this incident in order to prevent such actions in future.
