May 20, 2025. Viralized topics on the net in the last 24 hours
Post-election debates and reactions continued to attract much of the public's attention as they were informed by social media yesterday, according to an analysis of the top 100 viral headlines by volume of interactions generated on Facebook the previous day.
Of primary interest were domestic and international reactions to Nicușor Dan's victory in the presidential election. His election generated a consistent wave of congratulatory messages from international political leaders - Maia Sandu, Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen, Volodimir Zelenski [Digi24, EuropaFM, Stirile PROTV, HotNews.ro], but also from academia, such as representatives of the École Normale Supérieure [edupedu.ro]. At the same time, journalists and political commentators have widely reflected on the significance of this result [g4media.ro, republica.ro].
The public has also been interested in speculation about potential foreign interference in the election, with accusations against France coming from Russia [mariustuca.ro, Digi24, biziday].
The interest for headlines about the evolution of the leu in the context of the election of a pro-European president [biziday.ro] and references to the educational and fiscal priorities of the new mandate [republica.ro, edupedu.ro, Stirile PROTV] indicated an active public concern about the concrete implications of the election result.
Personalized interest in the new president was illustrated by material about Nicușor Dan's family life and his partner, Mirabela Grădinaru [Antena3, catine.ro, educatieprivata.ro].
The Tate siblings were also in the spotlight with the announcement of their departure from Romania [Digi24, EpochTimes Romania], as was Anamaria Gavrilă, who hinted at a potential move to Spain [Stirile PROTV, Antena3].

***** Synthesis realized with the help of a monitoring feed provided by the NewsVibe Romania, team based on several online monitoring software. The top viral links are measured based on the number of interactions generated on Facebook by topics from the Romanian online press. Virality is measured by the cumulative number of likes, comments and shares obtained by various links over the course of a day.
We can observe, every time, that the virality of a link is not directly proportional to the overall impact of an online source. Often, links coming from local sources, or niche pages can get significantly more interactions than traditional media sources.
