INTERVIU „Avem o hipermajoritate care urăște privilegiile. România este un mare rezervor de benzină”

In an interview, sociologist Barbu Mateescu discusses the evolution of public discontent in Romania since the Colectiv tragedy, highlighting a shift from USR to AUR. He notes that while many young people are politically engaged, there is a significant feeling of betrayal among voters. Mateescu emphasizes the potential for future protests due to widespread dissatisfaction with traditional politicians and their perceived privileges. He suggests that Romania is a 'reservoir of gasoline' for social unrest, but the actual ignition may depend on various factors, including political developments that could channel this discontent constructively.
