May 26, 2025. Viralized topics on the net in the last 24 hours

The conclusions below refer to the top 100 viral headlines by volume of interactions generated on Facebook in the previous day, reflecting the dominant interests of the Romanian online audience.

The most widely reflected theme concerns the activity and image of the president-elect, Nicușor Dan, who has dominated public interest through several recent actions or messages. First of all, his participation in the election rally in Poland, where he gave a speech in support of the pro-European candidate, was intensely commented and analyzed [Stirile PROTV, epochtimes-romania.com, Digi 24, aktual24.ro]. Secondly, the message sent on the occasion of the Day of Romanians Abroad was widely distributed, with promises of more active institutional involvement in support of the diaspora [PROTV news, Antena3, Digi 24]. Thirdly, the statement on the progress made by Romania in its relations with the United States of America attracted attention, but was taken up to a lesser extent [epochtimes-romania.com].

Interest in geopolitics was also entertained by themes related to security and international alliances. US Vice President JD Vance's speech defining the lines of American foreign policy [Realitatea], Bloomberg's analysis of European military purchases in the perspective of a withdrawal of US support [mariustuca.ro], and the multiple reports about the attacks on Ukraine [biziday.ro, Stirile PROTV, Libertatea], suggest that the Romanian public is closely following the dynamics of war and its impact on global balances.

Some headlines reflected older or newer statements by current or former secret service officials, such as Silviu Predoiu [Realitatea], or Nicolas Lerner, director of France's DGSE [mariustuca.ro].

Finally, education has been present in the viral space through the statement of Minister Daniel David on the large number of children excluded from compulsory education [Digi 24].
