          The winner of 22.94% of the votes in the 2024 Romanian election, Calin Georgescu, is a far-right candidate that said that a fascist dictator is a national hero

          His place as the person who got most votes came as a surprise to many romanians, which barely heard of him. His advertising was mostly done through TikTok. The election was canceled because of claims that his growth was unnatural

          The 2024 election was also the first election this century where the political party PSD hasnt gotten in the top 2

          TikTok played a huge role in the popularity of a pro-fascist, pro-russian, anti-EU independent candidate

            So they just threw out the results of a free and fair election because one candidate was just too good at social media campaigning? Democracy ftw

              As far as i know, the election was delayed to figure out if he would be disqualified for not respecting the constitution
