“On November 24, 2024, Romanian voters sent two outsider politicians — one being the nationalist provocateur Calin Georgescu — into a Presidential run-off, scheduled for December 8. Yet days before the second round, Romania’s Constitutional Court annulled the election results based on a report from the country’s intelligence community. Their findings implied that Russia was behind a massive disinformation campaign via TikTok. Georgescu and his supporters argue that the Court made a political ruling, fearful that his ascension to the presidency would undermine Romania’s pro-Brussels orientation. His opponents argue that maligning foreign influence via powerful tech platforms is such a corruption of the process that invalidation is necessary. As is often the case, the truth might be somewhere in the middle.” (01/22/25)
