Romanian Presidential Election Process Annulled Amid Allegations of Russian Interference
The Romanian Constitutional Court has annulled the presidential election process following allegations of a ‘coordinated guerrilla’ campaign on TikTok to boost the popularity of extreme-right candidate Calin Georgescu. The court’s decision comes after controversies surrounding election-related manipulations and suspected Russian influence. Documents suggest a substantial operation on TikTok linked to Georgescu, involving thousands of accounts and significant manipulation before the election. The EU has raised concerns over the integrity of the electoral process and has increased scrutiny of TikTok.
