Romania's constitutional court ordered a new presidential election just two days before the second round, citing claims of Russian interference favoring far-right candidate Calin Georgescu.
Intelligence documents declassified by the outgoing president confirmed that there was online interference aiming to influence the electoral process, highlighting the significant role of social media.
Costin Ciobanu described the court's decision as unprecedented, indicating deep concerns about the stability and integrity of Romania's democratic processes amidst foreign interference.
Georgescu's campaign benefited from preferential treatment on TikTok, which did not label him as a political candidate, raising serious questions about electoral fairness.
