A newly released US Judiciary Committee report says there was no evidence of the alleged 25,000-account Russian TikTok network used to justify cancelling Romania’s election.
So if Russia didn’t interfere… Why was the second round cancelled? Why was the leading candidate blocked? And who really benefited? In this podcast episode, Romanian investigative journalist Iosefina Pascal breaks down with us:
The US congressional findings Allegations of EU and French involvement
Claims of political pressure on Romania’s Constitutional Court Media silence and censorship
The Digital Services Act and online speech restrictions
Whether Romania was a “test case” for broader EU control
We also examine shocking statements from EU officials and discuss whether this is about truly protecting democracy. Romanians feel betrayed. Critics say this is election interference. Supporters say it was necessary to stop foreign influence.
