Clarification from the ICR
As a result of the article „Who is the journalist who discredited Iohannis in Spiegel: Freelancer who collaborated with ICR“, published on the website stiripesurse.ro under the signature of journalist Florin Puscas and taken over by several online publications, we recall that the workshop held by ICR in Berlin in 2007, being referred to in the article, is one of the over ten thousand projects developed by the Romanian Cultural Institute in Berlin over the past decade .
These projects involved, on a regular basis, a consistent number of journalists, artists, artistic and cultural personalities. ICR did not have, during the term of the current leadership, collaborations with the journalist mentioned in the article. In this context, we reiterate that ICR does not interfere in political disputes or political partisanship and delineates firmly from involving the institution in any controversy in this sphere.
