      But only after it no longer was ‘allegedly’ if I understand correctly.

          You are wrong, the article you mention states “According to the snoop.ro report, the Romanian tax agency found that the Liberals had paid for a social media campaign on TikTok through influencers and by promoting a hashtag which ended up being hijacked to benefit Georgescu instead.” It has been proven that his TikTok campaign wasn’t organic while he declared not paying for it. The fact that the liberals where the first to use a certain hashtag doesn’t mean they were involved in his campaign. He is still under investigation. Do you have any sources backing up your claim it wasn’t Russia? Politico doesn’t mention it. For others interested in reading more, here’s an explainer by Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/why-is-calin-georgescus-romanian-presidential-bid-being-blocked-2025-03-10/

            Jeez you people. Are you having trouble reading or are you so rabid in your Russophobia that you can’t handle the truth?
            You’re blatantly cherrypicking and selectively choosing a minor detail, that hashtag as if that was the only thing.
            The article gives details about them hiring Kensington Communication, and no less than 130 media influences were involved.
            Really not wasting time on people who act on this level.
