Introducing “Libertatea,” a distinguished Romanian publication committed to covering a
wide range of topics and events unfolding across Romania. Founded with the mission to offer
insights into our nation’s events, it has evolved into a respected source of information,
maintaining its reputation since its establishment.
“Libertatea” is a multifaceted publication encompassing news, features, and analysis, it
was launched in 1990 and later purchased by Ringier Romania in July 1996 as a daily newspaper
for Bucharest. This tabloid boasts a cadre of distinguished journalists and redactors. They
contribute to the newspaper, ensuring a rich blend of perspectives and expertise. Some of them
are: Dan Duca, Cătălin Tolontan, Alexandra Nistoriu. "Libertatea" ensures a diverse array of
perspectives and expertise. The newspaper covers an extensive spectrum of subjects, including
politics, culture, sports, and beyond, offering readers a holistic understanding of Romania’s
dynamic landscape.
One of “Libertatea’s” standout articles is its compelling editorial that delves into pressing
societal issues, providing insightful analyses and thought-provoking commentary. This flagship
piece serves as a cornerstone, embodying the newspaper’s commitment to fostering informed
discussions. For example, one of these articles belongs to Cătălin Tolontan. It talks about the
nearby elections that are going to happen this year, criticizing political parties, specifically AUR,
its fights with other members of the Parliament and its influence over the behavior of the
citizens.
An article that resonated deeply with me was about an activist, Angi Şerban, and it
highlighted her experience. On the 16th of January, she was unexpectedly apprehended by the
police from another location than the one in her ID, supposedly unknown. This incident was
triggered by her posting on Facebook about the lack of efficiency and the implications the public
authorities have in the context of the recent transportation riot. The article was written by Andrei
Stan, underlining how meaningful of an attack on democracy this action represented. It was an
arduous form of intimidation and humiliation directed toward citizens who expressed their
critical opinions related to the police department and its institutions.
 Wholeheartedly, I recommend “Libertatea” for its comprehensive coverage, diverse
sections, and thought-provoking editorials. The newspaper’s commitment to delivering nuanced
perspectives on Romania’s events makes it an invaluable source for those seeking a deeper
understanding of the country.
