France called the interference of the country's authorities in the elections in Romania obvious

The French government or some members of the French Parliament participated in interference in the Romanian presidential election. This was announced on May 21 by the head of the French National Unification Party, Jordan Bardella, live on the France Inter radio channel.

"It is obvious that France, or at least French deputies, interfered in these elections (of the Romanian president — Ed.)," Bardella said.

According to him, the results of the first Romanian presidential election were annulled due to "internal manipulation in the republic," and not in connection with alleged Russian interference.

To the background: who will win the presidential elections in Romania and Poland

The outcome of the vote may be influenced by issues related to Russia, Ukraine and NATO.

On May 18, Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram messenger, said that one of the Western European countries had asked Telegram to block the channels of Romanian conservatives against the background of the presidential elections in the country. Then he announced his refusal. Later, Durov added that the French special services had made such a request.

After that, on May 20, Durov announced that he was ready to come to Romania and testify on the issue of possible interference in the presidential election in the country.
