November 7, 2025. Viral topics on the net in the last 24 hours
Analyzing the first 100 press titles that generated the highest volume of engagement on Facebook during yesterday, a fragmentation of public interest into several distinct themes is observed.
The public's attention was drawn to scandals with media impact. The developments in the case of the manele singer Dani Mocanu, from his sentencing to prison for attempted murder to being pursued, were widely reflected by multiple sources [Gândul, Digi 24, Stirile PROTV, aktual24.ro, 60m.ro].
In a similar vein, there was also interest in local scandals of a sexual nature, involving a mayor [bistriteanul.ro] or a teacher [stiricraiova.ro]. A legislative proposal regarding chemical castration for pedophiles also generated debates [Stirile PROTV].
Another theme focused on developments regarding the justice system. Considerable interest was directed towards the announcement of protests calling for the dismissal of Lia Savonea from the leadership of the High Court of Cassation [g4media.ro, epochtimes-romania.com]. In parallel, corruption cases generated high engagement, with the public following the detention by DNA of businessman Fănel Bogos [biziday.ro] and the subsequent statements of Ilie Bolojan, whose name appeared in the context of the case [Gândul].
The political scene was another major topic of interest, especially in light of opinion polls. The public followed materials referring to the poll results concerning Anca Alexandrescu in the context of her candidacy for the Capital City Hall [Realitatea], as well as those indicating a decline in the AUR party [epochtimes-romania.com, alba24.ro].
Topics related to local administration and community life captured interest. Internet users paid attention to infrastructure projects, such as those mentioned by [News Bucovina], community events like the Christmas Fair in Brăila [jurnalbr.ro], or local civic initiatives [botosaninews.ro]. Social issues, such as the lack of resources for children with special educational needs in schools [edupedu.ro] or labor conflicts [ziarulunirea.ro], resonated with the public.
A final relevant axis focused on themes of economy and security. The public showed interest in the concept of a "military Schengen" of the EU [Adevărul] and the participation of President Nicușor Dan at a NATO forum, alongside Secretary General Mark Rutte [Digi 24, Gândul]. Economically, news about a major investment by Makita in Romania stood out [Economica.net].
