Yo Bro, Give that Dam(n) Water Back! – 2
In mid-2025, as part of a process of inspection, restoration, and replacement of its safety infrastructure, the Vidraru Dam had its reservoir drained for the first time in 50 years. A great deal of fake news has been spread in the public sphere: “The dam is being emptied and they are stealing the gold!”; “We must not let them take our water and our wealth.”
Just as the 2024 presidential elections were annulled after the first round due to external interference, and supporters of extremist parties took to the streets demanding that the second round be reinstated, chanting “Give Round Two Back”, those spreading fake news about water are following the same pattern: technical reality becomes a pretext for emotional manipulation, and the demand for restitution becomes a new slogan.
