Romania centrist candidate wins presidential election rerun with narrow lead
ai generated text
The presidential election in Romania took place on May 18, with centrist candidate Nicușor Dan winning the election. According to exit polls, Dan secured around 54% of the vote, while his far-right rival George Simion received around 46% of the vote.
The Romanian people have turned out massively to the polls. They have chosen the promise of an open, prosperous Romania in a strong Europe. Together let's deliver on that promise.
I voted for our future to be decided only by Romanians, for Romanians and Romania. So help us, God!
We will always have great respect for Romania and its people, especially given the support we received during the most difficult period in our history.
It's a victory of thousands and thousands of people who … believe that Romania can change in the right direction.
There is also a community that lost today's elections. A community that is rightly outraged by the way politics has been conducted in Romania up to now.
When Romania goes through difficult times, let us remember the strength of this Romanian society.
There will be a difficult period ahead, necessary for economic rebalancing to lay the foundations of a healthy society. Please have hope and patience.
A viral campaign of fake news on Telegram and other social media platforms is aimed to influence the electoral process. This was expected and authorities debunked the fake news.
Coordinated social media viral postings are currently mounting an aggressive campaign of spreading false allegations regarding the voting process.
It's impossible to interfere in something like that — only to get smeared in it. So don't smear anyone else with your electoral mess.
Dear Romanians, you can count on Ukraine as a good neighbor and partner. We can overcome any challenge if we are united and strong. I look forward to further developing the strategic partnership between our friendly nations for the sake of their stability, security, and prosperity.
You can't 'fight election interference' by interfering with elections.
Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels.
