00:00Romania grapples with disinformation ahead of the presidential runoff.
00:07Romanian voters face a deluge of disinformation as they prepare to choose between centrist Niku Sjordan
00:13and ultranationalist Giorgio Simeon in a presidential runoff on Sunday.
00:18The election was first held back in November but annulled after this man, Kalin Georgescu,
00:23allegedly received Russian support to coordinate the TikTok campaign that swept him to a first-round victory.
00:30There is still no undeniable public evidence to confirm Russia's involvement.
00:34Ahead of Sunday's runoff, EuroVerify identified a raft of disinformation on TikTok.
00:40They include claims of massive electoral fraud.
00:42This video alleges that diaspora votes are being doubled to skew the vote in favour of pro-EU candidate Niku Sjordan.
00:50Some politicians also allege there are as many as 2 million deceased people still on the electoral lists,
00:56a claim Romania's Interior Ministry has refuted.
00:59We also sow claims the election will be cancelled again, despite there being no evidence to support this.
01:06Romanian fact-checkers say the claim was first made on a sanctioned pro-Cremlin publication
01:11and is intended to suppress the vote.
01:13Analysts say disinformation actors are sowing conspiracies and distrust in Romania,
01:18which is vulnerable to hybrid warfare due to its geographical position on Europe's eastern flank.
01:24The cancellation of the initial votes is also feeding into a wider sense of distrust in public institutions.
01:30The cancellation itself has eroded public confidence even more in democratic stability.
01:37And obviously it's very easy now to exploit narratives related to that of state incompetence or state corruption.
01:45The French Cyber Security Agency has said Romania remains vulnerable to electoral interference in this electoral rerun
01:52and that European countries, such as France, also face similar threats.
