Emmanuel Macron denounced on Friday, May 16, “interference” in the next elections in Europe, especially in Romania on Friday, May, believing that “undermine the integrity of our democracies.” The nationalist candidate George Simion took the same day of a visit to Paris to answer him in turn interference in the second round of the Romanian presidential elections, scheduled for Sunday May 18.
“My message is clear: Low legs!”, He threw himself to the French president, denouncing his “dictatorial trends” and comparing France with Iran, while the role of ethics and Brussels is pointed out by the extreme Romanian right in the cancellation of November 24 elections against the context of the suspicions of the Russian interference.
“You are not an emperor, you don’t even like the French, so these attacks and the way you try (…) to immerse yourself in our elections are not what we should do in a united Europe,” George Simion added during an improvised press conference, broadcasting live on his Facebook account.
“Threats that undermine the integrity of our democracies,” according to Macron
“We see through our elections, Romania is experiencing it at this time, Moldova lived it recently, (which) we have very clearly threats that undermine the integrity of our democracies, which undermine their resistance,” said Emmanuel Macron in the opening of a top of the European political community (CPE) in Tirana, Albania.
“Moldova (is) victim of Russian interference every day (..) The electoral deadlines in progress, there too, as we know very well, are the object of such interference,” Hammer Hammer.
“We undergo manipulations during the electoral periods, but (also) interference of foreign information almost all the time. And this is something that undermines the democratic security of our Europe,” he continued.
The Head of State asked the leaders of the European continent, gathered in Tirana, to “better protect the critical infrastructure against cyber attacks,” strengthens “regulatory frameworks in the illegal content online” and “tracks the financial flows that feed these hybrid actions.” “Otherwise, in particular Russia will continue to destabilize our public opinions to move the lines,” he said.
A first vote canceled for suspicions of Russian interference
In Romania, the vote of November 24, dominated by the candidate of great surprise, Calin Georgescu, now prohibited after a massive campaign on Tiktok, had been canceled by the Constitutional Court, after suspicions of Russian interference in favor of this candidate.
A “coup d’etat” that “humiliated the Romanian people,” George Simion repeated, who took over the torch for this new choice.
The leader of the Aur Party (Alliance for the Romanian Unit), 38, collected almost 41% of the votes in the first round of the vote on May 4, but the surveys announce a difficult battle in the second round against his 55 -year -old pro -European rival, the mayor of Bucharest, the graduated mathematician of the University of Sorbonne, Nicusor Dan.
In the European Union, where the extreme right has registered its best scores since the end of World War II, George Simion’s victory would strengthen the nationalist camp. “The Maga Wave”, which bears the name of Trump’s motto makes the United States again, is “the only thing that will save Europe,” said Donald Trump’s fan.
Emmanuel Macron, meanwhile, held Thursday by phone with George Simion’s rival, said the French presidency. “If the Porusian candidate and antieuropeo were positioned and could be chosen, the consequences in Moldova would obviously be extremely harmful,” he said.
