​Established 20 years ago, the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) is becoming increasingly visible in the public debate in Romania. Politicians, journalists or civil servants have been sanctioned by the CNCD over time, often drawing sharp criticism, even calling for the institution to be abolished.

The cases of Buhnić and Viktor Orbán are the latest to bring the CNCD to the fore. Where does freedom of speech end and discrimination begin? How sexist, racist or extremist are Romanians and Hungarians? What should politicians pay attention to when they speak or pass laws? These are some of the questions CNCD President Ashtalos Tsaba will answer today during a HotNews LIVE interview.
