July 1, 2026. TV: What was discussed last night on the news channels

The agenda of the TV debates focused almost exclusively on the political crisis, reflected in the deadlock of negotiations for forming the new government, the scenario of early elections, the difficulty of establishing a parliamentary majority, and the prospect of suspending President Nicușor Dan. Around this theme also gravitated the disputes between PSD, PNL, USR, and AUR, including the scenario of a possible rapprochement between PSD and AUR. Additionally, political instability was associated with economic risks – price increases, fuel, taxes, pensions, and the danger of being downgraded to "junk". The evening's agenda was completed by extreme weather, storms in Bucharest and Ilfov, the scandal of the "houses of horror" in Bihor, but also by specific topics: the ROMATSA scandal, the Russian drone from Tulcea, the leadership of SAPE, and the conflict between Călin Georgescu and Anca Alexandrescu.
