Podcast "Informed People" Garry Kasparov: the problem with protest voting is that it identifies the problems correctly, but doesn't bring solutions

"I'm not here to tell you which is the right candidate, but I can tell you which is the wrong candidate," says former world chess champion, the legendary Garry Kasparov, in an Informat.ro podcast moderated by Mădălina Dobrovolschi. Kasparov explains that politicians who support Vladimir Putin, either openly or indirectly, by parroting Kremlin propaganda, are "the enemies of our future".

The great champion explains how the manipulative propaganda mechanisms of Putin's "merchant of doubt" dictator Putin work, pointing out that people are falling for it because "the lies have become very subtle".

With the second round of Romania's presidential elections in the offing, Garry Kasparov points out that, beyond voting in protest against the government, Romanians should also consider the candidate who offers the prospect of a plan to solve the problems that have caused discontent: "if you have problems at home, don't burn it down!

Kasparov also talks about the false issue of the choice between the USA and the European Union, pointing out that the two geopolitical spaces are natural allies and that relations, for a country that wants to be democratic, can only be equal, taking into account the specificities of each of the entities, namely the security umbrella that the United States provides on the one hand and, on the other hand, the geographical reality of Romania's membership in Europe.
