Meta and Google announced that they will ban EU-wide political ads once the new EU Political Advertising Regulation enters fully into force in October. Their reason? EU rules are too unclear and far-reaching, they say.

I recently spoke with @Arnoutleclercq.bsky.social for @volkskrant.nl about how Elon Musk is amplifying claims that Romania’s democracy is under attack following Georgescu’a dismissal.

You can read my insight, along with those of other experts - here: www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/h...
Hoe extreemrechtse desinformatie met hulp van Rusland, Musk en influencers het hart van de Europese macht binnendringt
In toenemende mate richten extreemrechtse influencers hun pro-Russische pijlen op Europese democratieën, zoals nu in Roemenië. De Volkskrant volgde het spoor van ‘burgerjournalist’ Mario Nawfal, die f...

The Romanian Constitutional Court decided that Georgescu cannot run for president, as expected.

Concerns nonetheless remain: George Simion (leader of AUR) may reportedly run in his stead with the promise of Georgescu as a prime minister

🚨 Romanian President Klaus Iohannis resigns from his position, becoming the first president to do so in Romanian history in an attempt to circumvent his impeachment by parliament. Bizarrely, the move was backed by politically opposed parties on both the center-right and far-right.

Today, students of my course on the EU’s response to the war in Ukraine had the opportunity to hear from @jamespsexton.bsky.social (@tmcasser.bsky.social) on the interplay between the EU’s sanctions on Russia and international criminal justice. A truly insightful class!

My comment on the Romanian Constitutional Court’s decision to annul elections is available now on @verfassungsblog.de Looking forward to discussing it!
On December 6th, the Romanian Constitutional Court annulled the Presidential Elections, mandating a complete re-do.

@alinacarrozzini.bsky.social on why the ruling was both necessary and legally sound and yet counterproductive for Romanian democracy.

To the contrary, Romanian authorities clearly failed to prevent this outrageous interference - despite intel showing that his campaign had already been flagged in 2020. This is a sad attempt to bury under the carpet their misdeeds, and does nothing but prejudice trust in Romanian institutions.
The decision by the Romanian constitutional court to annull the first round of the presidential elections due to foreign influence sets an important precedent for electoral integrity in the EU #romania
