January 16, 2026. Trends in online searches / last 24 hours

In the last 24 hours, the online public's search interests in Romania have predominantly focused on sports events (football), weather developments, yesterday's protest in Bucharest, as well as on topics related to pop culture and celebrities.

The main area of interest was represented by international football. The public actively searched for results and details about matches such as Como – Milan, Racing Santander – Barcelona, Verona – Bologna, or Al Arabi – Al Gharafa.

Additionally, there were searches related to teams such as Barcelona or AC Milan, against the backdrop of the current match schedule and interest in the performances of Spanish and Italian clubs.

The interest in socio-political topics is reflected in searches related to "protest" or "Vexler," driven by the protest in Bucharest, initiated by Claudiu Târziu and supported by AUR.

In the same vein, queries related to "taxes and duties" are recorded, including against the backdrop of statements made by former president Traian Băsescu regarding the fiscal measures imposed by the Bolojan government.

In the justice sphere, searches about Adrian Kreiner were fueled by the capture, in Indonesia, of Costinel Cosmin Zuleam, convicted for the murder of the Sibiu businessman. Public interest focused on the images broadcasted of the moment of his arrest in Bali.

A distinct area of searches is represented by international politics, especially interest in Greenland, in the context of recent statements from representatives of the American administration. Searches were also stimulated by the position publicly expressed by the authorities in Copenhagen.

There are also concerns related to weather conditions. These are highlighted by searches about "weather," in the context of the latest forecasts indicating frost and snow in several regions of Romania, including in Bucharest.

Searches associated with celebrities or developments in the pop culture area included names such as Katie Price and Harry Styles, with interest in Katie Price being fueled by the public confirmation of her separation from JJ Slater, and in the case of Harry Styles, by the official announcement regarding the release of his fourth solo album.

In the same entertainment domain, searches about the show "Power Couple Romania" are also recorded. Interest was generated by the tensions in the competition and the voting results.
