Romania’s progress in combating disinformation “unimpressive,” president says

Romania’s progress in combating disinformation is insufficient, according to statements made by president Nicusor Dan during a trip to Kyiv on Wednesday, July 15.

Dan argued that Romanian legislation should be adapted to resist the spread of false information, a phenomenon that impacted the country during the 2024 electoral year, when European, local, parliamentary, and presidential elections were held. In this way, the country will be ready to hold the 2028 election without distorted messages flooding political debates.
