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 Shordan

00:13and ultra-nationalist Giorgio Simeone in a presidential runoff on Sunday.

00:18The election was first held back in November but annulled after this man, Kallin 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 favor of pro-EU candidate Niku Shordan.

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 saw 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.
