Romania did not ask the European Commission for help before the 2024 elections. What happened on TikTok
Published
The year 2024 was an important electoral year for Romania. According to an analysis published by Libertatea, the country could have asked the European Commission to organise meetings with representatives of the major online platforms. These discussions could have helped the authorities prepare for the elections and better understand the risks in the digital environment.
However, Bucharest did not call the technology giants to discussions before the vote. The article shows that, during that period, social networks had an increasingly large role in informing citizens. Online platforms were used intensively to convey political messages, and citizens were receiving more and more information from their mobile phones.
Under these circumstances, the Călin Georgescu phenomenon grew rapidly on TikTok. The candidate's popularity on this platform drew the attention of the public and of analysts. Questions about the role of social networks in the electoral campaign remain open, and the subject continues to be discussed in the Romanian public space.
