Contractele partidelor cu presa în 2026. AUR a devenit un jucător semnificativ. Trei firme încasează 80% din bani

Expert Forum's report reveals that Romanian political parties spent 26.4 million lei on media and propaganda in the first seven months of 2026. The majority of funds came from PSD, AUR, and PNL, while transparency in spending remains an issue due to lack of detailed reporting requirements. A new EU regulation aims to improve transparency in political advertising, but current data collection is incomplete. Most contracts are linked to PSD and AUR, with significant amounts going to specific media outlets. The report highlights that political advertising is primarily funded by public money, raising concerns about accountability.
