Three quarters of Romanians say country is heading in wrong direction, poll shows

Three quarters of Romanians believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, according to a public opinion poll conducted by CURS in December, highlighting widespread pessimism, low trust in political leaders, and growing economic anxiety.

The survey, quoted by Agerpres, found that 75% of respondents say Romania is moving in the wrong direction, while only 21% believe the direction is a good one. CURS noted the findings point to a tense social climate marked by distrust, pessimism, and economic pressure, with negative perceptions of the country’s trajectory, institutions, and living standards reinforcing one another.
