December 5, 2025. TV: What was discussed last night on the news channels

Thursday evening was dominated by the theme of the water crisis in Prahova County, treated as an emergency with major political implications: the responsibility of the authorities, a scandal in Parliament, and pressure for the resignation of Diana Buzoianu. Infrastructure problems caused by dam discharges have amplified the feeling of institutional chaos. In parallel, the elections for the Capital City Hall generated heated debates about electoral strategies, digital campaigns, the scandal of Nicușor Dan appearing in a USR clip, accusations regarding chaotic urbanism, and the funding of PMB. The economy came to the forefront through discussions about tax increases, public sector reform, management of state companies, and examples of high salaries in the public sector, such as the situation at Bucharest Airports. On a geopolitical background, the war in Ukraine was analyzed from the perspective of direct risks for Romania and Moscow's plans in the region.
