Vance eviscerates ‚Soviet‘-style European censorship in address to Munich Security Conference
„What I worry about is the threat from within the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.“
Vance called out former European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who said in January that if the right wing German AfD party were to win elections in Germany, the results could go the way of Romania.
„These cavalier statements are shocking to American ears,“ said Vance.
âRĂ€uberpistolenâ â Annullierung der PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl in RumĂ€nien als Blaupause fĂŒr die anstehende Bundestagswahl?
(January 14, 2025)
Im Dezember 2024 hatte das Verfassungsgericht die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahlen in RumĂ€nien mit Verweis auf eine angeblich russische Beeinflussungskampagne auf TikTok annulliert. Jetzt haben Recherchen ans Licht gebracht, dass in Wirklichkeit nicht ârussische Agentenâ, sondern die NATO-freundliche PrĂ€sidenten- und Regierungspartei PNL höchstselbst die Kampagne initiiert und bezahlt hatte. MutmaĂlich, um ein Instrument zu haben, im Falle einer fĂŒr sie schlecht laufenden Wahl diese rĂŒckgĂ€ngig machen zu können. Völlig unbeeindruckt von diesen Erkenntnissen fordert derweil der EU-Kommissar a.D. Thierry Breton, âfalls nötigâ, auch die Bundestagswahl nach rumĂ€nischem Vorbild zu annullieren. Die NachDenkSeiten fragten nach der Bewertung der Bundesregierung. Diese sieht in den neuen Erkenntnissen nur âRĂ€uberpistolenâ.
The EUâs Coup Against Democracy: Thierry Breton Threatens to Invalidate German Elections (Video)

Observers noted that Bretonâs comments revealed an alarming willingness to override the will of voters if outcomes do not align with EU preferences.
Many linked these actions to the EUâs broader push to control narratives, highlighting efforts to censor platforms like X in Europe to prevent dissent and scrutiny. The underlying motive, critics argue, is to silence opposition and maintain control, but such efforts may ultimately backfire as the truth surfaces despite their attempts to suppress it.
Democracy Dies In The EU: Romania Edition
/December 26, 2024)
The weeks running up to the election: a campaign called #BalanceAndIntegrity begins on TikTok. Roughly 130 influencers follow a similar script to make videos describing qualities of a future unnamed president. Some of the influencers do, however, write in the comments of the video: âCÄlin Georgescu.â
Nov. 24: The presidential election. Georgescu â a relative unknown who runs on a Christian conservative, economic populist and non-interventionist policy towards Project Ukraine â surprisingly comes out on top. Disaffected working class voters back him strongly as he wins more than 2 million votes (23 percent) in the first round. As no candidate achieved an absolute majority, a second round was to be held on Dec. 8.
Nov. 28: Romaniaâs Supreme Country Defense Council (CSAT) announces that âcyber attacks with the aim of influencing the correctness of the electoral processâ took place and, separately, that âa candidate for the presidential elections benefited from a massive exposure due to the preferential treatment that the TikTok platform granted him by not marking him as a political candidate.â
