Details

Antena 3 focused on the floods in Suceava and Neamț, presenting the situation on the ground in several programs, along with the scandal of Dragoș Anastasiu's resignation and the contractual ties of his partner, Hildegard Brandl, with the Oradea City Hall. The reform of state-owned companies and the possibility of appointing Marian Neacșu to replace Dragoș Anastasiu were intensively debated, as well as the Anghel Saligny program and PSD's arguments for its continuation. Other notable topics: Ion Iliescu's state of health and the US-EU agreement.

Romania TV focused on political tensions and scandals in the government, especially around Dragoș Anastasiu, Radu Oprea and Ilie Bolojan. Tax evasion, problems in state companies and the impact of new taxes were discussed. The floods in the north of the country were presented from administrative and delayed reaction angles. Other topics: the train derailment in Germany and speculation on the conflict between Nicușor Dan and Bolojan.

Digi24 analyzed in depth the reform of state-owned companies, focusing on the political effects of Anastasiu's resignation and the reactions of leaders such as Nicușor Dan. There was much discussion on extreme weather, but also on the implications of the conflict in Ukraine. Other important topics included rising electricity prices, the end of the "Green House" program and the Anghel Saligny program.

B1 TV focused on the resignation of Dragoș Anastasiu and the possible effects on the government and the reform of state-owned companies, analyzing the role of Bolojan. He brought up the presence of AUR in the Government, through advisors, and raised questions about conflicts of interest related to Marian Neacșu. Fiscal and judicial topics (e.g. Piedone) completed the grid.

Realitatea Plus tackled the topics with a critical tone: the Anastasiu scandal, the lack of reaction from Prime Minister Bolojan, the rising cost of living and the bottlenecks in recalculating pensions. The extreme phenomena in the north of the country and the bribery scandal at the ANAF, including contracts linked to Hildegard Brandl, were analyzed in detail. The reform of state companies was presented in the key of the danger of "privatization for nothing".
