Abstract

In recent years, disinformation and manipulating public opinion have reached alarming levels in Romania. The Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) annulled the first round of the 2024 presidential elections because the electoral process was flawed. This study analyses the mechanisms of manipulation and its impact on public opinion using qualitative methodology through content analysis and thematic analysis.
