I've gone through this entire comment thread, and I keep reading that voters were influenced by "false information," but nobody seems to mention what that false information is.
"Tiktok", "right-wing", "Putin", "anti-NATO sentiment", "Iron Guard" and "Russia" isn't false information. Why are people repeating this over and over again? Has any Romanian in this thread asked someone who voted for the winner why they voted that way? Was there any lie involved, or do you just hate that they're allowed to vote?
Trump won twice in the US by spending half the amount of his opponents. The internet now means that constant media saturation is infinitely less valuable, so elections aren't linear functions of the amount of donor cash. People can just choose the person they agree with. If he's the only anti-NATO candidate, and if for 25% of the population this is their main issue, why wouldn't he win?
Feels to me like the goal is to restrict the amount of information people can get about candidates that will not be allowed to win, in favor of an array of candidates with identical opinions on the important issues, but that come in a range of different colors and flavors.
Hello pessimizer! Please get yourself a few romanian tik-tok accounts, browse as a young man, and you will see what relentless propaganda has been produced.
I am sorry this information, ie. the videos, are not widely available on the internet. (like most of the good useful information, if I may add)
