🟨🤝📱 A X (Twitter) account followed by George Simion says that the AUR party has established contact with Telegram founder and CEO, Pavel Durov, in order to have him testify to the Romanian Constitutional Court (CCR) about French election interference.

However, because of his legal troubles in France, Durov is not allowed to leave the country and cannot testify in person. A videocall will have to be set up which, no doubt, will be sabotaged by the French.

A French judge could theoretically grant Durov the permission to travel to Romania and testify but what are the odds of that happening?

@Wallachian_Gazette

🇫🇷❌📱 In a statement for POLITICO, an unnamed "government official" said that French authorities were "caught off guard" by Pavel Durov's tweets about being asked to censor people in Romania!

The official added that they believe Durov wanted to "tease" the French government.

The same official complained to POLITICO that Paris has difficulty in dealing with people "like Pavel Durov or Elon Musk" who "have strong communities" who never buy the arguments and denials made by French institutions.

“The state is in trouble, because it does not have the same prescribing power,” admits the government source cited above, who fears that the founder of Telegram will return with new accusations.
