The core claim of Russian interference was false and exemplified Brussels' use of political censorship, the document said
The European Commission used unproven claims of Russian interference to overturn the results of Romania's 2024 presidential election, a US House report has suggested.
Romania's Constitutional Court annulled the election's first round after intelligence services alleged anti-establishment candidate Calin Georgescu's lead resulted from foreign meddling. A House Judiciary Committee report cited the case on Tuesday, calling it the "most aggressive censorship steps" taken by the EU executive in recent years.
The report referenced internal TikTok documents submitted to the European Commission that contradicted claims of a Russian-backed pro-Georgescu campaign on the platform. TikTok stated it found no evidence supporting the allegation, which was foundational for the court's ruling.
"By late December 2024, media reports citing evidence from Romania's tax authority found that the alleged Russian interference campaign had, in fact, been funded by another Romanian political party," the document noted. "But the election results were never reinstated, and in May 2025, the establishment-preferred candidate won Romania's presidency in the rescheduled election."
