November 11, 2025. Viral topics on the net in the last 24 hours
The analysis of the first 100 press headlines that generated engagement on Facebook the previous day indicates a polarization of public attention around a few major themes.
A dominant theme, widely reflected, concerns the institutional conflict between the CSM and Deputy Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu. Publications such as [biziday.ro], [investigatoria.ro], [HotNews.ro], [Digi 24] and [epochtimes-romania.com] reflected the CSM's decision to file a criminal complaint against the government official for "incitement to hatred," following statements about special pensions. This action generated high engagement for related articles, with the public interested in supportive reactions for the Deputy Prime Minister from USR leaders [EuropaFM] or commentators [HotNews.ro], as well as analyses that pointed out a potential double standard from the CSM [g4media.ro].
Interest in justice was also visible through the sharing of news about protests demanding the removal of the leadership of the ICCJ [investigatoria.ro].
Local administration represented another pole of interest. Articles about a mayor from Argeș who gifted his daughter a car worth 150,000 euros for her coming of age [Digi 24, Libertatea] were widely shared. In the same category, the public followed specific administrative situations, such as the case of the mayor from Livezile who sued his own institution for a "bonus for insults" [bistriteanul.ro] or, in contrast, the decision of a mayor from Satu Mare to eliminate all employee bonuses [presasm.ro].
The area of education was also present. The online public was interested in critical evaluations of union leaders (FSE) regarding Minister Daniel David, described as being in a "parallel reality" [edupedu.ro], but also in Mircea Miclea's analysis regarding the negative climate in schools at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year and a potential teacher crisis [edupedu.ro]. In this context, the evaluation of the chief economist of BNR regarding the impact of functional illiteracy also generated interest [epochtimes-romania.com].
