So yesterday the first round of the presidential election took place in our country (2 rounds in total, next one on 8 Dec). Everyone was expecting something but no one expected what ended up happening: an independent candidate who was virtually unknown as recent as 2 weeks ago, Călin Georgescu, won 1st place. For reference: it’s as if an unknown third party candidate won the US presidential election against Kamala and Trump. Călin beat even Marcel Ciolacu, current prime minister and part of PSD, the party which has dominated Romania since the fall of communist (1989).

    I have a real bad feeling all our elections everywhere have been infiltrated by Russia, and by the time someone can prove it, it will be too late to do anything about it. Too many pro russia surprises everywhere.

      Ban freaking Tiktok! It’s just a propaganda machine which is also meant to dumb down the Western population by China and Russia. It’s wild to me how China and Russia ban apps that they see as propaganda, but the West refuses to take any actions against actual propaganda means.
