DISINFORMATION: Romanians will regain the country's wealth if they isolate themselves from the West, like Japan did

Romania's assets have been confiscated by foreigners, and Romanians can only get them back if they isolate themselves from the West, according to a false narrative typical of the sovereignist trend. Romanians are urged to stop buying Western products, to stop working in corporations and to stop participating in the democratic process, as Japan did in order to become an economic power after World War II. But the Japan example is simply bogus. The catastrophic results of sovereignty and isolationism are evident if we look how the states that have chosen this path have failed.

FAKE NEWS: European Union products will contain cricket flour, which is allergenic and leads to anaphylactic shock

The EU imposes the use of cricket flour, which can even kill some consumers, according to fake news circulated in Romania. This resumes the false narrative that the EU will force its citizens to eat insects. In reality, Brussels has only approved the entry of a new cricket flour producer on the EU market, but the use of its products is not mandatory. Similarly, the purchase of products containing insect-based ingredients remains a consumer’s personal choice.

DISINFORMATION: Just like Andrei Marga, Henry Kissinger claims that Ukraine must cede territories to Russia in exchange for peace

A subjective interpretation of an editorial signed by the renowned American diplomat Henry Kissinger, recalling the narrative line promoted by Vladimir Putin prior to the start of the aggression against Ukraine, aims to justify the speech of the former Romanian Foreign Minister Andrei Marga, from mid-September, in which he says that Ukraine must cede territories to Russia, Romania, Hungary and Poland in order to obtain peace in the war with Russia. In reality, Kissinger detailed a diplomatic scenario imagined by him in spring, meant to provide a solution to reach peace following the Russian invasion of Ukraine
