National Security Council declassifies evidence of Moscow’s ‘hybrid attacks’ benefiting pro-Putin Călin Georgescu
Romania’s National Security Council has declassified documents detailing what it described as a co-ordinated campaign by Russia to the benefit of pro-Putin presidential frontrunner Călin Georgescu. “Romania is a target for aggressive Russian hybrid actions, including cyber attacks and information leaks and sabotage,” the council said on Wednesday, days before a run-off vote in which the far right candidate is leading, according to opinion polls.
Georgescu has declared zero funds spent in the campaign. The far-right candidate “benefited from preferential treatment” on TikTok because the Chinese social media platform did not label his videos as political ads. Romanian authorities also identified “Telegram and Discord channels where it was discussed how to co-ordinate and avoid being blocked on the platform”, concluding that such a campaign could only have been carried out by a foreign power.
