Prime Minister Dorin Recean, at Davos: "Disinformation is a global challenge. It knows no borders"

The risks of foreign interference in the electoral process and the experience of the Republic of Moldova in organizing the election, as well as the actions by which the Russian Federation tried to disrupt the democratic processes in our country, were the topics addressed by Prime Minister Dorin Recean at the panel dedicated to the elections, held within the Davos Economic Forum.

According to a statement from the Executive, in his intervention, the Prime Minister emphasized that, during the electoral period, propaganda and disinformation experienced a significant intensification, and fake narratives were widely disseminated to compromise the election. Also, the Prime Minister pointed t that the Republic of Moldova was the target of an unprecedented fraud – the 2024 elections were marked by electoral corruption and vote buying by criminal groups.

"We have witnessed actions and disinformation campaigns aimed at dividing society, influencing public opinion and undermining trust in state institutions. With the technology now available, the problem for governments is the overwhelming amount of fake information. The most important thing is to continue investing in education and in the development of critical thinking, so that people are less manipulated. Disinformation has no borders and remains a global challenge, which requires collective solutions," said Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

The Prime Minister also participated in roundtables and discussions on boosting the transition to green energy, encouraging investments in renewable energy and building resilient economies to maintain peace.

Tiraspol relies on the “goodwill” of Chișinău to sustain its economy in the current context of natural gas supply, said Eugenia Gusilov, director and founder of the Romanian Energy Center, during the “Zi de zi” program on Radio Moldova. She noted that the gas intended for delivery to the Transnistrian region by the Russian Federation, through a company called Ozbor Enterprises that is controlled by a former Gazprom executive, would only meet the region's basic needs.
