DETAILS

Antena 3 emphasized the geopolitical situation, Donald Trump's statements, Vladimir Putin's reaction, nuclear risk, the US withdrawal from Europe, and internal security issues such as SRI reports. Other topics included President Nicușor Dan's statements about the election annulment case, the situation of hydropower plants, pensions, and public revenues.

Romania TV combined the geopolitical situation with austerity themes and the "piles" network (in hospitals and administration). The election annulment case and President Nicușor Dan's statements were intensely debated, alongside American criticisms of Romania (US report). Social issues such as living standards and the situation in hospitals completed the agenda of news TV shows.

Digi24 focused on administrative and fiscal reform (ANAF plan, job cuts, government reorganization) and the US report on justice and taxation in Romania. The relationship between the US and Russia in the context of the conflict in Ukraine was intensely discussed, but parallel topics such as pollution, green spaces, and bonuses from Romsilva were also addressed.

B1 TV centered debates on Donald Trump's statements and the geopolitical situation, President Nicușor Dan's statements about the election annulment case, and Călin Georgescu's interview, which left open the possibility of collaboration with PSD. It also addressed the issue of "piles" and sinecures in hospitals and the situation of SRI reports.

Realitatea Plus directed the evening towards austerity measures and the lack of funds for education, pensions, as well as the election annulment case and President Nicușor Dan's blunders. Problems in hospitals and accusations against the "luxury landlords of the State" completed the picture, in a discourse focused on the internal crisis.
