Politics and education remained in the attention of the public who got informed yesterday from social networks, according to the analysis of the top 100 viral headlines in terms of volume of interactions generated on Facebook the previous day, which shows the main topics generating interest among Internet users in Romania.

The dominant theme was the reactions to the results of the congress of the National Liberal Party, where Ilie Bolojan was elected president. Several articles with relatively high engagement reflected the internal divergences and the reactions of party members, such as Alin Tișe or Florin Roman, who expressed dissatisfaction with the composition of the new leadership [biziday.ro, ziaristii.com, stiridecluj.ro, Stiri pe surse]. There were also published analysis and comments on the direction in which the party could evolve under the new leadership [epochtimes-romania.com, ziaristii.com].

Another topic with a constant presence in the viral stream was the International Chemistry Olympiad in Dubai, where Romanian students achieved notable results. The center of attention was Matei Ursăchescu from Buzău, mentioned in several local and national publications for winning the gold medal [reporterbuzoian.ro, buzau.net, opiniabuzau.ro, edupedu.ro]. Other Romanian students were also noted for their silver and bronze medals in the same competition.

Justice was another frequent theme, with interest in the news about the election of Simina Tănăsescu as president of the Constitutional Court. This development has been reported by several sources [aktual24.ro, Stirile PROTV, biziday.ro, Antena3, epochtimes-romania.com, g4media.ro], with details on her professional career and the context in which she was voted by her colleagues in the CCR.
