Andrei Nastase expressed his deep regret over the continuous activity of media asking tough questions. The statement was made after Publika TV journalist Oxana Bodnar asked him many pointed questions. 

"To my regret, in June 2019 I didn't do what all the citizens of Moldova could or wanted, to purify the Moldovan press. That's why I'm still poisoned", said Nastase. 

Publika recalls that Andrei Nastase was bitterly criticized by media non-governmental organizations after he attacked and intimidated Ana Butnariuc, the PRIME TV chief editor, in a press conference held during the electoral campaign for parliamentary elections. As a consequence, the DA leader was listed on the panel of "Enemy of press" installed in front of Parliament headquarter on the occasion of the World Press Freedom.
