The Romanian Embassy has accused the BBC of “stage-managing” a report about immigrants living in Hyde Park.
Raduta Matache, the acting Romanian Ambassador, is demanding a meeting with Mark Thompson, the BBC’s Director-General, because she believes that Newsnight reporters fabricated some or all of an encampment in Hyde Park.
The BBC vehemently denied fabricating any element of the report, aired on Monday, and rejected claims by Mrs Matache that producers had asked a Romanian featured in the programme to bring his own tent to the shoot.
But the Royal Parks, which manages Hyde Park, has also cast doubt on the report, saying that it is “very sceptical” of the idea of an encampment in Hyde Park, particularly of the size shown by Newsnight.
Matache said: “It’s clear they staged-managed the whole thing. The BBC has a right to examine how the restrictions on Romanians entering Britain work. But the BBC did it in such a way that they may have breached ethics of journalism. “We have a witness who has reasons to believe that part of the report was a set-up. We feel they have resumed the stereotyped coverage of Romanians.”
She also said that several of the Romanians who participated in the film had contacted her.
