“Trust in public figures is one of the most rigorous forms of credibility assessment. In this ranking, we notice that only two political leaders pass the threshold of 30% very much and fairly much trust. Both Mircea Geoană and Emil Boc return after heavy periods of political collapse, both going through consistent processes of reinvention, far from the national political scene, one performing on the international stage, and the other in the local administration. This confirms the fact that the majority of Romanians are very demanding towards the current leaders of political parties, who are at the forefront of the public debate, preferring instead personalities less active in national politics, but with results in their fields of activity”, says Remus Ştefureac , director of INSCOP Research.
