AI Summary:
Romania’s foreign, interior and defence ministries denounce “Russian interference” in presidential runoff. They warn Romanians about an alleged fake news campaign rolled out on Telegram, TikTok and other social media platforms. In a coordinated move, the three ministries pointed to a falsified video. Pavel Durov, founder of the popular messaging app Telegram, claims he asked to block conservative voices in Romania. France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) says its officials have met with Durov several times over the years. In September 2024, he criticised the French authorities’ investigation and promised to step up efforts to fight criminality on the messaging app.
