Romania's Civil Society in Action in 2025: Strengthening Accountability and Public Trust

MACS: Monitoring Action for Civic Space is a framework that monitors civic freedoms across EU countries, crucial for civil society groups and individuals to maintain fundamental freedoms. Simona Constantinescu, the Head of Development and Advocacy of FDSC, explains how public distrust in the electoral process and the justice system, challenged civil society actors in holding Romanian institutions accountable. The MACS: Monitoring Action for Civic Space is co-funded by the European Union. It is implemented by the European Center for Not-for-Profit Law, European Civic Forum, Bulgarian Center for Not-for-Profit Law, Foreningen Nyt Europa, Le Mouvement associatif, Okotars Alapitvany, Stichting Nederlands Helsinki Comite, Ogolnopolska Federacja Organizacji Pozarzadowych, Fundația pentru Dezvoltarea Societății Civile.
