MAI reports disinformation campaign according to which PM announces Romania entering war
The Ministry of Interior (MAI) reports the existence of a campaign spreading false information, through which videos created using artificial intelligence programmes are presented as genuine, which show Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan announcing Romania's entry into war as of September 2025.
'These videos are fake and are part of a deliberate attempt to manipulate the public opinion. Romania's PM has not made such statements, and Romania is not entering the war,' the MAI press office informs on Tuesday.
'We encourage you to check your sources and not to distribute unverified content,' according to a MAI Facebook post, which mentioned that 'this information is part of the MAI's measures in order to identify and combat disinformation campaigns which affect the confidence in the state's institutions and in the people who do their duty seriously.'
