Russia accused of targeting Romanian election with "aggressive" cyberattacks
ai generated text
Romania's presidential election runoff on Sunday appears to be increasingly influenced by external factors, particularly from Russia. Intelligence services and the top security council have both suggested that the election campaign has been targeted by "aggressive hybrid Russian attacks", with one report indicating that the far-right candidate, Calin Georgescu, was promoted on social media platform TikTok as part of a sophisticated campaign.
Please stay at home with your family. We need social tranquillity. God will not let Romania down.
I think it's the first time in the history of the world when a state is organising an action against a candidate to stop him from running.
I hope that, based on the evidence published today, the state authorities will take appropriate action, and all those responsible will be held accountable.
Data referenced in the report should be fully investigated to ensure the integrity of Romania's electoral process.
Romania's hard-earned progress anchoring itself in the transatlantic community cannot be turned back by foreign actors seeking to shift Romania's foreign policy away from its western alliances.
