The campaign in some newspapers an TV stations started years before the 2004 in order to convince the public that Gregorian Bivolaru is already "guilty as charge".
The virulence of the press campaign attained its climax in March 2004. Basically, most media tried to turn the population against MISA yoga students and trigger a “witch-hunt”.
