Dilema veche (English: "Old Dilemma") is a Romanian weekly magazine that covers culture, social topics, and politics.

[2] In 1993, the magazine Dilema was founded by the former first post-communist Romanian Minister of Culture Andrei Pleșu.

However, the Dilema editorial staff became concerned that these new circumstances could have a negative impact on the magazine's independence and its public perception.

[1] Eventually, editor-in-chief Mircea Vasilescu requested that the editorial staff be allowed to launch a new magazine under the name Dilema.

[2][4] In 2006, Dilema veche became part of Adevărul Holding, a major Romanian press trust owned by businessman Dinu Patriciu.
