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. Simion initially refused to concede, denouncing the rerun as a “coup,” but later congratulated Dan while vowing political resistance Dan’s win was celebrated by EU leaders as a win for pro-European democracy, with leaders including Macron, Von der Leyen, and Zelensky welcoming his election, calling it a signal of Romania’s firm commitment to NATO, the EU, and democratic values in a region vulnerable to Russian influence.
