Russia accused of interfering in Romania 's presidential election November 24 presidential election that saw far-right and pro-Russian outsider Calin Georgescu storm to a shock first round victory.

But an investigation by the tax authorities has exonerated the Kremlin and revealed the highly effective TikTok campaign was funded by the liberal pro-EU party PNL in an effort to knock out a rival in a plan that badly backfired.

The Romanian precedent has raised serious concerns in the West about the possibility that TikTok could pervert the election result.

However, the twist that the ANAF uncovered the involvement in the PNL party which had manipulated Romania ’s electoral behaviour on TikTok completely changed the conversation.

The fact that Romanian security institutions have failed to prove Russian involvement, but instead showed that a domestic player, PNL , was actually behind the attempt to manipulate votes, jeopardizes Romania 's political stability.
