US Vice President Criticizes Romania’s Election Cancellation, Accuses Europe of Excluding Populists

Vance criticized the idea that democracy can be destroyed by digital advertising campaigns originating from a foreign country, stressing that if such a thing is possible, “then that democracy was not very strong to begin with.”

He continued his criticism of those who, in his view, use concepts such as “disinformation” and “fake news” to protect their own interests. “For many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it seems increasingly obvious that old entrenched interests hide behind ugly expressions inherited from the Soviet era, such as disinformation and manipulation, because they simply do not like the idea of ​​someone with an alternative view expressing a different opinion, or, God forbid, voting differently, or, worse, winning an election.”
