The second round of Romanian Presidential elections is ongoing between MAGA-inspired right-winger George Simion and liberal-Globalist mayor of Bucharest Nicusor Dan.
But whatever the result, a scandal has already tainted the ‘re-do’ of the vote that was originally cancelled when now-banned right-wing Calin Georgescu appeared to be unbeatable.
So, after the cancelled elections, now we have testimonial evidence of sheer foreign interference by Emmanuel Macron’s France.
Lord Bebo reported:
“BREAKING – TELEGRAM: ‘WE REFUSED TO SILENCE ROMANIAN CONSERVATIVES’
Telegram says a Western European government — hints that it’s France — asked it to block conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential election.
CEO Durov says he ‘flatly refused’, calling the request undemocratic and warning: ‘You can’t ‘defend democracy’ by destroying democracy’.
Telegram says Romanian users will not be censored.”
You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both.
— Pavel Durov (@durov) May 18, 2025
Durov refused to censor right-wing voices in Romania.
Russian-born entrepreneur Pavel Durov is the founder and CEO of Telegram, a messaging app with over 900 million users with an emphasis on privacy and end-to-end encryption.
He holds citizenship in France, the United Arab Emirates, and St. Kitts and Nevis, and is based in Dubai, where Telegram operates.
Durov’s advocacy for free speech put him in hot water with the Globalists from Macron’s administration.
On August 24, 2024, Durov was arrested at Le Bourget Airport near Paris as part of a French National Judicial Police investigation into criminal activity on Telegram.
He was indicted on twelve charges, including complicity in distributing child sexual abuse material, drug trafficking, and money laundering, as well as refusing to cooperate with authorities by not providing requested information.
He was released on a €5 million bail and a French court permitted him to temporarily leave France for Dubai. The case is expected to take over a year to reach trial.

“LEADING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DIRECTLY ACCUSES MACRON OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE! In my interview with Presidential Candidate @GeorgeSimion, he unleashed a groundbreaking allegation: ‘Any business related to French investment is pressured to threaten the employees that, if they do not vote for the pro-LGBT mayor of Bucharest, they will be fired. They tried to meddle with our currency, to weaponize the justice system, they disguise themselves as democrats. I feel sorry for Emmanuel [Macron]’. And hours ago, Telegram’s founder claimed that a Western European Government — hints that it’s France — asked it to block conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential election. Let that sink in.”
