Schimbările sociale din Europa vor avea efecte și în România. „Vechiul contract social în foarte multe țări e rupt, e șters”, spune un bancher
Economic and social changes in Europe will impact Romania, as the development model is undergoing transformations. Radu Hanga, president of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, highlighted the need for awareness of these shifts. He noted that Romania's development has been anchored in European stability, which is now facing crises, such as protests in France. Sergiu Oprescu from the European Mortgage Federation pointed out the increasing difficulties young people face in accessing housing across Europe. While Romania currently enjoys favorable housing accessibility, it risks facing similar challenges as other EU countries. Oprescu also discussed the influence of social media on public perception and opinion formation, illustrating this with a reference to a character from Marin Preda's novel.
