[edit] Career

An ex-journalist, he was involved in a famous incident where former President of Romania Ion Iliescu called a colleague of his "You, animal!".

Mazăre founded the Telegraf newspaper, the local Neptun TV channel and entered business as a shareholder of the Conpress Holding. He joined the Democratic Party (PD) and was elected in the Romanian Chamber of Deputies in 1996. He later resigned due to "differences between electoral promises and realities of government".
