Summary/Abstract: The Monitoring Report of justice in Romania, published by the European Commission in late January of this year, has sparked an intense controversy in Romanian politics between the president of Romania and the prime minister of the country, which has focused on the mediatic lynching who was practiced against the judges and the anti-corruption prosecutors. This article defines and analyzes the mediatic lynching and its specific features that distinguish it from a press campaign.
