Summary
Far-right candidate Calin Georgescu won the first round of Romania’s presidential election, marking the first time a fringe candidate has achieved such success through a social media-driven campaign.
Georgescu leveraged public discontent with mainstream politics and used TikTok and other platforms to spread nationalist and pro-Russian rhetoric.
Unlike bot-driven campaigns, his rise relied on highly loyal followers amplifying his pseudo-Messianic message.
Analysts view his anti-Western narrative as part of a broader hybrid war tactic, posing challenges for NATO-aligned Romania amid regional tensions.
Pro-Russian seems pretty unpatriotic take for a Romainian no?
We live in a post truth world now. The only thing that matters is feefees.
Seems pretty un-American and it’s worked out really well for them.
Fucking would someone please explain media literacy to the fucking idiot shitheads of the world who have no fucking clue before russia plunges every single fucking country into the shit?
*cough* Sorry. Just a little sore over here.
