France BLASTS Durov, Claims Allegations To Be ‘Fake and Denies Interfering…’ In Romanian Election

France has denied allegations of interfering in Romania’s presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a “Western European government” asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote.

Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him.

France called the accusations “unfounded” and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round.

The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy.

Nicuşor Dan won Romania’s presidency with 54% of the vote, defeating ultranationalist rival George Simion in a runoff that followed the annulment of last year’s results over foreign interference concerns.

EX Russian President Medvedev Claims Western Europe Is Waging ‘Quiet War’ Against Trump

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a “quiet war” against former President Trump. He suggests that ideological conflicts, particularly over tariffs and NATO disagreements, are driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Medvedev predicts that despite Europe’s large economy, the U.S. will emerge victorious due to its superior economic and military strength. He also highlighted the growing divide between Europe's neo-globalist forces and Trump’s conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia. #DmitryMedvedev #TrumpVsEurope #QuietWar #USEuropeanTensions #NATODisagreements #USRussiaRelations #EconomicStrength #MilitaryEdge #GlobalPowerShift #TrumpConservatism #USPolitics #NeoGlobalism #EuropeanUnion #WesternEurope #Geopolitics #MedvedevSpeaks #PoliticalConflict #TrumpSupporters #USForeignPolicy #USMilitaryStrength #TrumpAndRussia #EuropeanTensions #PoliticalShift #USVictory #USPrevails #GlobalInfluence #TariffWars #EUUSRelations #MoscowEvent #KnowledegeFirst #RussiaPolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~
