Oana Eftimie stated in a clip that the reports from DGPI and SRI, declassified on December 4, 2024, two days before the annulment of the elections, indicated the involvement of PNL, through the communication agency Kensington, in coordinating a TikTok campaign associated with Călin Georgescu's candidacy. Eftimie said that authorities presented the #EchilibrușiVerticalitate campaign as evidence of Russian interference and that the DGPI report considered it identical to a campaign called "Brother Next to Brother," conducted by the Russian Federation in Ukraine before the invasion in February 2022. According to the author, the campaign had been run by Kensington and paid for by PNL, according to an ANAF report. She compared this lead to the criminal prosecution for the continued bribery of voters against Bogdan Peșchir and the influencers who had voluntarily supported Georgescu’s candidacy. Eftimie claimed that for almost two years, she had not seen a similar interest in investigating the campaign she attributed to PNL. The author further asserted that the authorities had initially anonymized the names of the agencies involved, but had not protected the identities of the influencers targeted by actions. She also reported that Peșchir had been forced by a police officer to remove his cap, mask, and glasses when he arrived escorted at the IGPR headquarters. Eftimie questioned why the lead on the paid campaign was not being investigated. #PNL #InterferențăRusească #Alegeri2024 (translated)
