In Romania, unlike France, protests are primarily led by business owners, while many citizens surprisingly demand more austerity despite its negative impacts. The discussion highlights the paradox of austerity fueling political crises and the rise of extreme right ideologies. Experts suggest that the silence of banks and corporations amidst record profits contrasts with the public's call for further cuts affecting the poor. The potential for future protests is linked to external pressures from entities like the IMF, which may push for wage increases amidst rising social inequalities. The conversation also touches on Romania's shifting role in Europe and its relations with Hungary, emphasizing the need for a more redistributive approach to economic policies.
