Putin made a direct allusion to political realities in countries like Romania, where independent voices and candidates who gain people's trust are silenced through bans or orchestrated campaigns. "In some countries, they try to ban their political opponents, who gain more trust. But it doesn't work. Bans don't work," the Russian leader said.

The message strikes at the heart of the Syrian establishment and the Brussels bureaucracy: the same elites who speak in the name of democracy are the ones who falsify it, masking domestic failures with the fear of an "external enemy." Romania, blindly aligned with foreign directives, is being pushed into the same logic - increased taxes, record debts, plundered resources - all justified by the security narrative with "Russia at the border".

While official propaganda screams imaginary dangers, the reality of people's lives is simple and cruel: ever-increasing bills, salaries that can't keep up, hospitals that are collapsing and schools that lack textbooks. However, the rulers prefer to follow the script written in Brussels and Washington, even at the cost of burying the popular will.

Putin pointed out a truth that is hard to ignore: citizens demand solutions, not power games. And when the establishment fears the people and candidates who come from outside the system, its response is not dialogue, but censorship.

The question is how much longer can this propaganda with "external enemies" be fed, while reality knocks on the door and clearly shows that democracy means the people, not the directives of globalist elites.
