Verdict: MISLEADING
Verdict details
Confidence: 85%
Evidence quality: PUTERNICĂ
**What was analyzed:** The statements of MEP Gheorghe Piperea (AUR) urging Romanians to keep their money 'under the mattress', citing a warning from the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) regarding the risks of artificial intelligence. **What sources confirm:** Sources confirm the existence of ESRB Recommendation 2026/3 from July 2026 regarding the cyber risks of frontier AI for the financial system. However, the ESRB calls for strengthening the digital security of institutions, not withdrawing cash. **Limitations:** The analysis is limited to public documents issued by the ESRB and the political statements of the MEP. **Conclusion:** The text is misleading as it uses a real and serious technical warning to justify a populist recommendation for cash hoarding ('under the mattress'), which is not found in the official document.
