2024 will be a crucial year for democracy in Romania, with the European Union parliamentary elections just two weeks after the Forum and local and national elections later in the year.

With this in mind, the 2024 Global Forum will centre its discussions on a critical issue: trust.

Trust in institutions, media, and citizens is of essential importance to our democracies. Alarmingly, less than one in four Romanians trust their Government, and just 12% trust the Parliament. Without trust, how can we expect to make decisions with and for each other?
