Romania TV is the only television station in Romania that moved a team to Germany, where catastrophic floods took place, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands of victims.

On Sunday, Angela Merkel visited the areas affected by the worst floods in the last century and said she was shocked by the damage, expressing her compassion for the families of the more than 150 people who died. During the visit, the chancellor spoke with the journalists on the spot, including a single team from Romania.
The Romania TV team arrived in Erftstadt on Saturday, one of the most affected cities in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
“The German army intervenes on the spot with tanks. There are problems with the mobile phone signal in the area. There are people who can’t get in touch with families. It is an unprecedented mobilization. It’s like war. It is not known if there could be more people in the cars on the flooded highway “, the Romania TV correspondent, Costi Soare, transmitted.
Bogdan Chirieac: Congratulations, Romania TV!
Bogdan Chirieac, political analyst, was invited on Sunday evening on the Romania TV set where he congratulated the television for the reports made in Germany.
“First of all, congratulations to România TV for the press release. From all points of view, it is good that you were there and that you sent a report team. It was probably not easy, especially in the context of pandemic restrictions, to the floods in Germany, you probably wanted to make a comparison with the disaster in Romania and the total indifference in Romania, of the prime minister for these floods. He also says goodbye to television, “Romania TV”, he took a practical interview with the Chancellor of Germany, the most powerful man in Europe at the moment. It is, if you will, a victory for the entire Romanian press. Congratulations, you were there, for the moment, on the report, on the action. It’s important. Maybe Mrs. Merkel, seeing the microphone on which Romania TV writes, thought that the Romanian press is also needed in Germany. Not only the German press, which has the privilege of having permanent correspondents in Romania. The presence of România TV shows a concern not of the authorities, that the authorities do not seem to me in any way concerned, except in the elections, but simply the public opinion in Romania is interested in the Romanians in Germany and not only. This was proved by the fact that a Romanian television went to broadcast live for its viewers the disaster in this country. I sincerely envy you. Hats off “, said Bogdan Chirieac.
