The Church and the Army are the institutions Romanians trust the most, while Parliament ranks last in public confidence, according to the latest Informat.ro – INSCOP Research Barometer. Roughly 64% of respondents said they have a high or very high level of trust in the Church, up from 57.7% in July 2025. The Army followed closely, with 61.8% expressing strong confidence, slightly below the level recorded in the previous edition, of 63%. The Parliament ranks last, with only 11.9% of respondents saying they have high or very high confidence in the institution, down from 14.5% last July. This is not merely about temporary dissatisfaction, but about a chronic lack of trust in representative institutions.
