The head of French intelligence Nicolas Lerner personally asked Pavel Durov to influence the presidential elections in Romania. This was stated by the founder of Telegram in the social network.
“This spring in the “Battle Room” of the Hôtel de Crillon hotel, the head of French intelligence Nicolas Lerner asked me to block conservative votes in Romania before the elections. I refused. “We didn’t block protesters in Russia, Belarus or Iran – and we won’t start doing it in Europe,” Durov wrote, quoted by Strana.
France has categorically rejected the accusations of Telegram founder Pavel Durov about alleged interference in the presidential elections in Romania. This is stated in a statement of the Foreign Ministry of the country. It published a screenshot of Durov’s post, labeling it Fake.
Recall, a certain Western European government in the run-up to the presidential elections in Romania asked Telegram to block conservative voices in the country. This was announced by the founder of the messenger Pavel Durov on his page in the social network.
He did not name the country directly, but pointed to it by publishing an image of a baguette.
