Following the controversial presidential election of November 2024, Romania has implemented new electoral rules requiring political messages to include designated codes for transparency. These codes indicate the candidate being supported and whether the content is sponsored. Leading nationalist candidate George Simion has incorporated these codes into his messages about political elites. The goal of the new legislation is to prevent misinformation and potential manipulation seen in the previous election, which faced significant issues of campaign integrity and compliance.
The recent changes in electoral legislation in Romania aim to curb misinformation and manipulation, requiring political messages to carry specific codes for transparency and accountability.
George Simion, a nationalist candidate leading in polls, exemplifies the new electoral rules by encoding his political messages to adhere to regulations set by the Romanian authorities.
