O echipă de experți români din mai multe domenii (relații internaționale, cybersecurity, inteligență artificială, comunicare) împreună cu echipa celor de la Osavul, un software de detectare a amenințărilor informatice bazat pe inteligență artificială, au investigat posibilitatea unei interferențe străine în mediul online care a amplificat mesajele și campania electorală a lui Călin Georgescu.

Folosind Osavul, echipa de experți a identificat 614 rețele (pagini web, site-uri, canale de social media, conturi), predominant afiliate Rusiei, care au amplificat în mod coordonat profilul și narațiunile candidatului Georgescu pe platformele sociale (Telegram, Facebook, Twitter/X etc.), pe mai continente și cu mesaje în mai multe limbi.

………………………………………………………………………………

This analysis, the product of a collaborative investigation, aims to substantiate independent research findings, showing how foreign actors actively exploit societal divisions and systemic vulnerabilities to influence electoral outcomes using the case of Georgescu’s recent electoral result in Romania as a key example.

Using Osavul, an AI-powered information threat detection software, the experts have identified 614 networks (webpages, websites, social media channels, accounts), which were predominantly –

Russian-affiliated that amplified the Romanian candidate’s profile and narratives across a vast ecosystem of social media platforms (i.e.: Telegram, Facebook, Twitter/X, etc.), spanning multiple

continents and languages.

This hybrid operation of election interference, methodically orchestrated to destabilise a NATO and European Union (EU) member state, extends far beyond Romania. It reflects a broader geopolitical agenda designed to fracture Euro-Atlantic cohesion, weaken regional resilience, and undermine support for continued war in Ukraine.

The campaign of destabilisation may not be limited to Russian

influence, as other foreign actors with similar capabilities and modus operandi (i.e.: China, Iran) contributed, albeit in a limited manner, to the dissemination efforts outlined above. It remains unclear whether such instances amount to coordinated actions.
