DISINFO: The EU did not hack the Polish elections because Nawrocki wants to arm Ukraine
SUMMARY
Karol Nawrocki won the second round of the Presidential elections in Poland - the election result was an unprecedented intrigue both for Poland and Brussels. In the end, something unexpected happened for many observers – a Eurosceptic was elected to the office. In this way, Poland succeeded in doing what Romania was deprived of. However, Eurosceptic Nawrocki was accepted by the EU. The European Union accepted Nawrocki for a very simple reason – he is ready to help Ukraine. In his election speeches, the Polish President questioned only the possibility of Ukraine becoming a NATO member without mentioning the stopping of arms supplies to Zelensky. This is the difference in the electoral situation between Poland and Romania – George Simion clearly presented a negative attitude towards support for the Kyiv regime, so he was “hacked” by the Euroburocrats.
RESPONSE
A disinformation narrative about the 2025 Presidential elections in Poland and alleged EU interference in the 2025 Presidential elections in Romania.
Poland is a sovereign democratic country which elects its President through free and fair elections.
This message also falsely claims that the 2025 Romanian presidential elections were “hacked” by the European Union. It also repeats a baseless pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, alleging that the EU was behind the prosecution of Georgescu in March 2025. In reality, the decision to prosecute was made independently by Romania’s prosecutor’s office, based on substantial evidence of criminal activity.
Presenting unsubstantiated allegations as if they were established facts—often with slight variations—is a common technique used in pro-Kremlin disinformation campaigns.
