00:00No, J.D. Vance did not claim Romania is a French colony.
00:06A social media post shared by far-right Romanian MEP Diana Sosioca
00:11claims that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance called on Romanians to free themselves from French rule through a revolution.
00:19The post features what seems to be a news article from reputable news platform Europa Libera,
00:24the Romanian branch of Radio Free Europe, with a picture of Vance making a speech.
00:29It reports that J.D. Vance claimed Romania is no longer a democratic country, but instead a French colony.
00:35Sosioca's message accompanying the post reads,
00:38The Americans have given the green light. Only a revolution can save what was once Romania.
00:42However, neither Vance nor any other U.S. public official suggested in any statement that Romania is a French colony.
00:49The article in the post poorly imitates the Europa Libera website.
00:53The font, for one, is completely different.
00:55Meanwhile, it refers to Vance as a senator and not as the U.S. Vice President.
01:00The director of Europa Libera confirmed to Euroverify that the story and the quotes attributed to Vance are false
01:06and that Europa Libera did not publish it.
01:09She did note Vance had been critical of the Romanian authorities at the Munich Security Conference in February this year,
01:15which may have inspired the false information.
01:17He claimed that Romania cancelled the first round of November 2024 presidential elections based on what he called shaky suspicions of an intelligence service.
01:27But again, Vance did not mention France's possible role as a colonizer, either in Romania or in any other country.
01:34This is just one example of a fake news report for which a clone of sorts is made of an established news website to spread fake news.
01:41Europa Libera's director told Euroverify that more generally, the Romanian online environment is being flooded with pro-Russian anti-Western attacks.
01:50She added that since 2024, these attacks are focused mainly against France and President Macron.
