00:13En catimini, le vote qui vient d'avoir lieu au Parlement européen peut permettre l'annulation
00:17de l'élection présidentielle française. On va regarder dans le détail ce que c'est,
00:21ce que ça permet, s'introduire dans tous les processus électoraux de tous les pays membres

01:32that Russia engaged in a massive TikTok campaign to sway public opinion in favor of an independent
01:39far-right candidate. It was a controversial and critical decision for sure,
01:44but ultimately it's set within Romania, not Brussels.
