Misinformation

The Romanian economy ministry and major retail chains will set up a crisis cell to respond promptly to fake news, such as the news that triggered the sudden and unjustified increase in the fuel prices, said minister Florin Spataru. He explained that the lack of reaction to such news is likely to affect consumers, producers and distributors alike. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a lot of false information has emerged in the Romanian public space, generating panic.
