Apart from their antagonistic relationship regarding Hungarians living in the western part of Romania, the two parties employ the same disinformation narratives that align with Kremlin propaganda.
Over a period of seven months, our team monitored the public communications of two political figures and identified at least five common narratives of disinformation. Four of these narratives related to the war in Ukraine and its consequences.
These narratives aim to cast doubt on Ukraine's credibility and challenge the support provided by the European Union and NATO. These narratives are added to a well-established repertoire of communication strategies that fuel the population's frustration with Brussels.
