First to the Chamber of Deputies are the ruling PSD and the sovereignist AUR followed by the co-ruling PNL and the centre-rightist USR. In the fifth and sixth places are the sovereignist-extremist SOS Romania and another sovereignist group known as the Party of Young People. The last two have made it to parliament for the first time.  Last in terms of the number of votes was the UDMR. The ranking was also maintained in the race for the Senate. Talks have started aimed at creating a parliamentary majority. Acting prime-minister and leader of the Social Democratic Party Marcel Ciolacu had talks, on Tuesday with the USR president Elena Lasconi, who made it to the second round of the presidential election, about a pro-European majority and solutions for a government that supports the same values. The Liberals have decided to support a coalition with PSD, UDMR, USR and the national minorities. The interim Liberal leader Ilie Bolojan has stressed that the fragmented structure of the new legislature requires the coalition of these parties for a future stable majority.  In the meantime Romanians are bracing for the second round of the presidential election, due on Sunday, 8 December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TikTok.<\/strong> The TikTok platform defended on Tuesday, in the European Parliament, the measures it adopted to combat disinformation in the first round of the presidential elections in Romania and denied that it would have favored the independent candidate C\u0103lin Georgescu, who ranked first. According to the representatives of the platform, &#8220;all candidates were taken into account in the system without differentiating between independents and those who were members of a party&#8221;. At the same time, they say, the platform eliminated over 66,000 fake accounts in Romania, about seven million fake &#8216;likes&#8217;, about ten million fake followers and about 1,000 accounts imitating candidate profiles. After the results of the first round of the presidential elections on November 24, Romania asked the European Commission to launch an official investigation into the platform, based on the EU provisions regarding social media. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit.<\/strong> Over December 3 and 4, Romania\u2019s Foreign Minister, Luminita Odobescu, is attending the meeting of the NATO Foreign Ministers in Brussels.
