TikTok and the fight for free speech | Virginie Joron MEP
Просмотров 5 тыс.День назад
Hysteria about Russian influence and TikTok have led to the unprecedented cancelling of an entire election in Romania. But, as Virginie Joron MEP tells us, this is only the latest step of the EU elite's war on speech online. Virginie saw first-hand how the European Parliament abused procedures in a desperate attempt to control the narrative online and blame TikTok for an election that didn't go...

Two seismic events have rocked European politics. In Romania, the shocking decision to CANCEL the presidential election sent shockwaves across the continent, revealing the anti-Democratic impulses of European elites for all to see. Meanwhile, Michel Barnier's government in France collapsed, throwing not just Emmanuel Macron but the entire fifth republic into crisis. Behind both of these events ...
China is watching Western decadence | Nathan Levine

The West is consuming itself in endless and destructive culture wars. Old certainties have been called into question in a cultural crusade against Western values. But while the West self-destructs, China is watching this very carefully. Indeed, avoiding the kind of cultural decadence now seen in the West has become a major priority for Chinese elites. The culture war is no longer a domestic aff...
Europe is occupied by America. Is Trump a chance to change that? | Niccolo Soldo
Просмотров 5 тыс.День назад
For 80 years, America has set the course for Europe’s politics and economics, with no alternative in sight. Writer Niccolo Soldo ("Fisted by Foucault") argues that where the U.S. leads, Europe follows-but Trump’s rise has cracked the door open for populist movements to challenge the status quo. Could this shift redefine the global order? This was a speech from MCC Brussel's special conference "...

The true artistic value of representation-once about transforming life into art-has been hijacked by political ideologues. Maren Thom, senior researcher at MCC Brussels, blasts modern representation as an artistic tool hijacked by ideology. What once celebrated artistic imagination now shackles creators, dictating rigid portrayals of select 'underrepresented' groups. This new "woke" approach im...
EU values are a threat to the West | Monika Gabriela Bartoszewicz
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.14 дней назад
Europe faces threats not just externally, but from within-by the so-called "progressive vanguard." Bartoszewicz critiques the woke movement as second and third-generation Gramscians who reject European culture. In doing so, they undermine European values and leave the door open for others who disdain those same principles, effectively surrendering Europe's collective identity. Monika Gabriela B...

*Călin Georgescu is the president elected* NO one will or could take him away from us !!
Thanks for the analisys. Sad that it is enough for the right to see a candidate which kisses icons and uses words like god and faith and tgey are hooked on a crook. People have learned in the end that Georgescu is a big lieyer, tge same as the establishment he was part of for 25+years. He was born in communist activist privileged family. Georgescu is a nationalist-communist, same ideas with neo-communism. Ex activist, parent commies, no way to justify election with Zero spending, no way to justify from what he lived for 10 years in Vienna. constantly lieing about himself and his background. Georgescu was part of the establishment till 10 years ago.
Do we want a manipulated "democratic process"? Georgescu puts the "interest of romanians" (to disrespect the EU & NATO agreements?!) just as Putin (other "patriot" that he admires) follows the interest of russians that want to die, be known as war criminals & have their economy collapse
Călin Georgescu is the president elected in democratic way ...we want him with all our ❤❤❤❤❤
The EU and NATO are two rabid dogs that Romanians do not want to part with, they will eventually give up on these dogs because they have already started tearing Romanians apart.
Democracy is dead in the EU. The masks are slipping. The true face of fake democracy and hypocrisy of the west has been revealed!
cheap propaganda,resonated with romanians who cant spell properly their name thats about 10 percent of the population ,how about the rest of sane population?
Georgescu is a fan of Antonescu, our version of Hitler. Do you need more information about him? Also the resonating thing is bullshit. He used populism to hide his true fascist colours. Since when populism didn't resonate with people? It's in the name! Demagogues...
To me what happened was an absolute wonder. I knew Georgescu was the best ever since I've seen him for the first time. We didn't really have presidential candidates. Maybe Mircea Geoana was to a point, but he was a consumed product. He didn't fight for his right to win in 2009. And right now he was a supporter of the globalists, came from NATO probably to get us into the war. The only other sovereignist remaining was George Simion. My mum, in her town, nobody told her about Georgescu. I told her about Georgescu being the best, and she didn't quite get it. We decided that she votes for Simion, because I feared that either Georgescu won't get anything, or he and Simion will cancel out each other and have a 2nd round between globalists, Ciolacu vs Lasconi. I didn't go voting, I was very sick, but my colleagues were getting to me about Georgescu. I considered that Simion being the candidate of AUR was a sign of non-combat from AUR. There was a non-combat campaign before, for europarliamentary elections. That campaign did not even exist on TV for real, the only thing that was on TV was the local elections campaign, and among these, the one for Bucharest. AUR put up some nationalist low-quality commercials featuring Stephan the Great instead of talking about the real threats coming from the globalists such as the destruction of food sources, energy sources, forced digitalization, LGBT education in schools and so on. My conclusion was that AUR pushing Simion as the candidate was the sign that somebody was working against the party from the inside, just how PSD used to be sabotaged from inside by Dancu and his accolytes, in its years of glory. And then having Georgescu as a second candidate, albeit independent, was a recipe for failure. And after elections, when I've seen Lulea talking about why they separated from Georgescu, I understood that Lulea was the problem, he was the man to cut AUR's jaws. I was absolutely blown away that people voted Georgescu. I couldn't believe it happened. I've seen Romanians voting the worst globalist scumbags for 20 years, since 2004. I had no hope. I envisioned that at most we'd have a second round Ciolacu vs Simion and Simion would lose, and Antena 3 actually worked all the time to ensure that we have an entirely globalist 2nd round. Many of you say people didn't know Georgescu. I think they knew just enough. They've seen some videos. They've seen a guy looking and speaking like a President, not like a servant.
Calin Georgescu is the people choosen!!!!!
A fake neo communist lieyer
I would have said this guy is Dan Iosif, but Dan Iosif died many years ago...
I have voted for him in the first round, and I was getting ready to leave the house to vote for the 2nd round when they've decided to cancel DEMOCRACY! Those who try finding excuses for what happened on the 6th of December are a SHAME for our country and for the rest of Europe/ world... peel your eyes, people, as something like this will come your way. When they waffle about Tiktok, it's all they know... no brain... and actually think the rest of romanians are stupid, but I can assure you we know very well what we have voted for.
No he is not, nobody knew him, even his voters, he came from nowhere and even now people don’t know exactly about him. TRUMP on the other hand was so well known that even the people around the world knew everything about him, not just Americans. What i want to say is that we don’t know if he is a russian pion or just a guy that had a lot of luck to be voted by so many people that didn’t knew him
Do you know your own name? You sound quite confused.
Prosti ca tine fac Romania de ras!
Yes nobody knew him, but with a simple research we found out that he is a person with a strong background and that what he speaks is not just BS as mainstream media is trying so desperately to inflict on the public

✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🏳️🏳️🏳️ Peace...
I always found funny as an American when europeans go on about American violence this and that when they were a single demographic of white people. Now you are actually seeing multiculturalism...
After the Second World War America took owner ship of the European states that weren’t part of the USSR since they couldn’t protect themselves. NATO was formed in thee we late 1940’s and expanded to include nearly all non-USSR countries in Europe, when the Soviet Union collapsed nato began expanding and covers many former Soviet European states today. What nato is is us control, and the us doesn’t want to give up control because it is in its interest. Europe will have to rise up and throw the us off, once a power takes over others it isn’t going to give them up, they must declare sovereignty.
It's always a bad sign when a candidate for the presidency is publicly praised by Russian state leaders, while he advocates for peace and neutrality, the same thing Russians want for Romania in order to be able to conquer it. The same neutrality that got Ukraine in war with Russia. The same neutrality that kept for over 30 years a whole Russian army in Moldavia. The same neutrality that made Georgia lose Abhazia and Osetia. There is no such thing as neutrality with Russia as a neighbor; you either are in NATO or on the menu. This guy is not advocating for the good of Romania, and all the values he preaches do NOT cover key security concerns, but rather only populist ideology. The involvement of Russia in the elections is clear if you look at his campaign. This is a tell for corrupted elections and not of democracy. The stakes are so much bigger than redoing an election here.
Well that's the plan? Trump said "vote him in and you wont need to vote again"? all going as planned? NWO? que the star wars empire /WEF/NWO theme music Da Da Da Da 🎵
Big Surprise!
It was nowhere the "first cristalization " of the anti-establishment sentiments!!! LOL Alll the themes you mentioned were pandered upon by many politicians! Lasconi barely had 2 000 votes more than Ciolacu. On his turn, Ciolacu is suspected to have conceded lots of his votes to Simion in an attempt to bring him in the second round! (Simion was deemed to be the easiest adversary for PSD to beat!)That scenario of giving votes to Simion is confirmed by the results of the next week parliamentary elections when PSD got more votes than Ciolacu, and more votes than Georgescu also! So you can hardly speak about a strong antisystem vote. Ciolacu signed his own demise through his own maneuvering! He was so sure he would go into the second round and that he had plenty of votes to spare !! PSD remained the strongest party,.They have less than a few months ago when , at the locals, PSD+PNL had together 60% of the votes, but the PSD + PNL+ UDMR (hungarians) still can make a majority.
The picture should be of the current president Iohanis of Romania not Georgescu. Iohanis cancelled the election in Romania and Macron in France.
They can t control nothing, they are at the end of the road most of them bought tickets to Patagonia
It took 100 years to drive the Muslims out of Christian Spain and only 6 years for the EU to let them all back in again.
As soon as you distance a little bit from Bruxell's rhetoric, regardless in which direction, you are labelled "pro russian". Georgescu is pro-romanian in an european country. That doesn't sit well with the leaches in Bruxell
It is same struggle as in USA. Establishment pro wokeness pro socialist EU elites, vs christian national values.
False! Georgescu has nothing to do with the Romanian people. All his policies are aligned with Russia, including the praise of orthodoxy, which it is in itself just another lie since his discourse is purely New Age , a vision which Orthodox faith doesn't condone!
Christian nationalisms values bring out the state toward dictatorship. We are afraid from URSS, that was a dictorship, and I was right, cristian nationalism is the same.

欧洲早就是美国的附庸了,更别说德国意大利还有大量美国驻军
Accurate assessment of the romanian current state. Obviously, there's a lot more to say but some of the essentials are well depicted. It's a fundamentally corrupted system, sometimes in subtle ways and it's also about total obedience to Brussels and Washington. Among all europeans, romanians are probably the most unlikely nation to have pro-russian sympathies. But they feel humiliated and they see a rich country such as theirs being ripped off by foreigners, often with the EUs Comission help or via the american embassy, both for various groups of interest. The KGB type of attacks the authorities unleashed against their choice for presidency, by weaponizing the law and with the help of asserted and disgusting rhetoric performed by a big chunk of the msm had only worsened the whole situation. And there's nothing in sight to suggest anything good might occure in near future.
Accurate? LOL
Romania's GDP grew 8x since entering EU. A great deal of our investment money comes from the EU. You are in serious minority. There was a poll after the parliamentary election and 90% said they were proEu and Pro NATO. You are part of a minority of 10%. Georgescu has more than 10% in vote simply because he lied that the is proEU (when he actually previously declared that Schengen is a prison!)Plus, Georgescu just means nothing more than a change from a Balkan style corruption to a Russian style one, which is far worse. The isolation and the void of capital brought by Georgescu's accession to power will be filled only by Russain oligarhs money. Really, the worst case scenario for the country!! Besides, Romania and Italy have pretty much the same level of corruption. Meloni coming to power made things worse not better in respect to corruption.There is absolutely no warranty a suveranist government would be less corrupt than the one that is now, and many signs that it would be worse.. Actually, the Eu funding is harder to embezzle than state funding. And there are actually quite a few politicians who completely changed their cities and counties with these EU funds, and their number keeps growing. They are a far safer bet than Georgescu. I would vote anytime for Bolojan, somebody who proved with actions that he has integrity and professionalism, not a demented guy like Georgescu!
Perfectă și succintă analiza!! Mulțumim !! Cerem ajutor tuturor străinilor sa mediatizeze aceasta situație , care este tot mai obositoare pentru poporul român!!❤

Superb video, thanks for your focus!
I heard nothing about his lies.
He said he is not a pro-Russian, when there are videos with him saying so! He said he is not a legionary (Romanian nazi movement),that the Americans endorse him, that he had zero expenses in the electoral campaign, that he was a member of the Club of Rome, that he used to be a high-ranking UN official etc. All his lies have been exposed with clear, tangible evidence. There are pictures of him and a neo-nazi leader whom he often employed as his counsel. Kennedy said he never intended to come to Romania to support Georgescu as Gerogescu claimed. The Americans officially declared that they did not endorse him or his ideas. (They reaffirmed this recently, even after Trump Jr. tweeted about Georgescu, through the voice of Zuckerman, Trump’s former US Ambassador to Romania). Georgescu stayed for 10 years in Austria, the nest of all Russian spies in Europe, without any source of income. He admitted meeting twice with Dugin, Putin's ideologue. Dugin openly stated that Romania would/should become a Russian province! The lies about his UN position have been exposed by the UN, as well as the club of Rome
The elections were stopped because one of the candidates was found to have cheated. There is nothing more correct than that. Since when doing the right thing is undemocratic? Transparency and responsibility are at the core of democracy...not aiming for that should be undemocratic. Were laws broken? Yes. Was it necessary? Yes. Should laws be revised? Yes. Should there be people respobsible for the awful mistakes done in the process? Of course. Nevertheless, having continued with the elections, knowing everythin iis known about that guy would have been treason.
Only the people who support Calin Georgescu think about a coup. The rest of us, who actually support the EU, are happy with the cancelation and have been given sufficient reason to see that the election was compromised.
Yes, it is.
8:45 USR was far more responsible than either of them for the economic disaster we're facing.
6:35 Absolutely, rich people here are literally telling us that we're dumb because we're not voting to protect their interests and profits, these are the discussions that they have with us.
CG Președintele României! 🇷🇴🫶♥️
For these presedential elections itvwas another candidate eliminated by the constitutional court with no proper justification, established in the court. There were 14 candidates in the first round and people decided who are the finalists. After recount, the Court confirmed the results. Five days later, during the vot abroad, the Court suspended the vote and canceled the elections. This is not about one candidate or another, but about our basic rights as human beings which were brutaly removed by some elected peoples, against the Constitution. We the people do not accept it.
How about once you tell the truth about the party's in power and how they sold the country for there one interest in stead of telling lies investigate how 70% of Romanians live in poverty how old people are left to die in the filthy Hospital how the minimum wage is 400 Euro's and people how worked all there life's have 100 Euros a month pension... The cold wind of change is here and we who vote we are fed up and we patiently wait for the next election.
Calin exposed the UN that’s why he was attacked. He knows their sick plans.
Trump said in 2016, “I want to take my country back”, what from?.. the empire that has been developed since WW2. This empire wants to rule every nation, it is a world government!!!
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! LOL! They voted for a fictional character. His propaganda was not announced as political propaganda, there was no transparency regarding his funding, there was no confrontation with the journalists, and there was no confrontation with the other candidates. None of the prerequisites for a real presidential race, those that confer legitimacy to the newly elect, none of those prerequisites were satisfied!! There is as much legitimacy as if they voted for Top Gun. Many people didn't even know his name the day after the election. They decided for him on a pure whim, after seeing some clips for a minute or so on TikTok. They asked youngsters on the street who voted for him and they said they voted for George Calinescu ( a Romanian writer and literary critic, LOL)! The problem for the other candidates was that there wasn't enough time to expose him between the two rounds. And, yes, he could recite all the grievances of the Romanians! Be sure any of us can! However, his phantasmagorical solutions could not be exposed for what they were! Simion pushed the same reading of the Romanian grievances as Georgescu, but he was dismissed because he was perceived as a hooligan (based on his previous public behaviour!). With Georgescu, some either voted by a whim, or some believed he was an expert, which he definitely isn't! So it's not that he was closer than others to the Romanian grievances, it was totally about selling a false identity and a false expertise!
So basically they are saying because you reject leftist it’s only because Russia ? BS if the people vote for Russian information that they vote for that but basically it’s who Serous or some other kid f er wants That’s practice for the democrats in the US like Obama did in Ukraine.
Europe created the US which remains a developing country which cannot survive without its old masters.Europe can live without the US it did for 2600 years ,US cant live without Europe
England and Germany are not the other countries.
BS. The huge problem was they voted for a fictional character created on TikTok, a character that didn't have almost anything in common with the real Georgescu, and a character that was pushed forward only during the last 2 weeks before the elections! Some people barely knew his name the next day! His propaganda was nowhere announced as political propaganda, there was zero TRANSPARENCY REGARDING HIS FUNDING, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONFRONTATION EITHER WITH THE JOURNALISTS OR WITH THE OTHER CANDIDATES. None of the prerequisites that make a presidential race confer legitimacy to the newly elected were satisfied.
The Romanians voted for him and their vote has been ignored. That is the problem, and come next year WE the people will vote for him again. We are sick and tired of this corrupt to the core political establishment that seem to be fighting with the country and not for the country.
That's complete nonsense

Of course, the speaker's identity matters when you try to decipher the meaning of a message!! A basic tenet of any communication theory! LOL If he speaks of suveranism while at the same time being a Russian crony, what that suveranity actually means is returning Romania into Russia's sphere of influence !! He was a part of the system since the 90s and now he pretends he is against the system, he stayed 10 years in Austria, the nest of all Russian spies, without any income!! He met Dugin twice!! Please do tell us what ordinary Romanian immigrant meets twice with Dugin, Putin's ideologist?? He claimed he was a high-ranking UN official, information contradicted by the UN. He tells lie after lie after lie. And his ecologist ideas didn't matter at all in his appeal.
