In the last 24 hours, the Romanian online press has been covering political issues (negotiations and tensions between PSD, USR and UDMR), environmental and administrative issues (Praid environmental problems), justice (reduction of Mario Iorgulescu's sentence), as well as social and economic issues (lifting the energy price cap). There was also interest in a social-sporting event, reflected in the media coverage of Florinel Coman's wedding.
The Praid environmental and institutional crisis
The environmental situation in the Praid Saline area benefits from good visibility in the media. The problems have been generated by the mismanagement of the protection infrastructure and conflicts between institutions (Salrom and Apele Române), and the consequences are felt in the water quality, the affected fauna and the lack of drinking water for thousands of inhabitants. The situation has escalated, accompanied by accusations, threats of dismissals and reactions from officials (HotNews.ro, Digi24, Antena 3 CNN)
Political deadlock and tensions in government talks
Negotiations on the future government and budget adjustments are accompanied by mutual accusations, denied stenograms, threats to leave the talks and criticism between political leaders (PSD, USR, UDMR). The press highlights the lack of consensus on fiscal measures to reduce the budget deficit. In this context, UDMR leader Kelemen Hunor has positioned himself as a critical observer, criticizing both the style of negotiation and the lack of fiscal vision. (HotNews.ro, Adevarul, Libertatea)
Eliminating energy price caps

Mario Iorgulescu - reduced sentence in manslaughter case
Convicted of manslaughter following a serious accident, the court reduced Mario Iorgulescu's sentence by 8 months.
