Emmanuel Macron is buying votes for €100. Elton John says the EU is crumbling. Beyoncé thinks the French president is a puppet. The far right will help France win back its independence.
These are just some of the narratives and fake claims spun by Russia’s intricate disinformation network ahead of France’s Sunday parliamentary elections, according to French officials and cyber security experts.
Analysis of a range of sources reveals a co-ordinated campaign of disinformation that has smeared Mr Macron, while promoting Eurosceptic far-right leaders Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, who have voiced opposition to Ukraine.
Ok lol
Ah yes. Lets blame Russians for all the problems. I wonder if they are behind the conspiracy of that annoying small stone in my shoe!
To the suprise of no one.
What a shocker, you can expand that title to cover most of the far right parties anywhere in the west, and also ultra/alt right groups and just your common facebook/social media right leaning gen Z and boomers.
They did it with the UK (brexit) and are going for the frexit now..
The established parties narrative swayes no one but a russian bot impressed everyone to vote for the far right.
Interesting!
Of course. It’s an openly stated wet dream that the EU would just disappear and all the European nations just bend to Russia. Or at least stop supporting Ukraine and also renounce NATO and all the east European countries returning as puppets. To that end, the Russian goal is to sow as much discord as possible.
Fuck Russia.
Never seen anything like that on this subred! /s
After years of the Kremlin covertly and overtly funding and strengthening pretty much every far right party on the continent? I am absolutely shocked! /s
lol, or maybe you guys really have some problems with illegal immigration and integration?
Does anyone here believe that the outcome of the election was decided by a Russian fake news bots? Or could there possibly be another reason why people voted the way they did?
Watch out guys there’s tons of em all over Reddit
Russian bots are hiding in my closet and under my bed as well.
Ah yes, naturally when policies are doing badly, and the “Far right” start gaining, it’s Russia, the same far right that’s meant to have links to Nazis… and Russia is helping them.
SURE, just like Russia hacked America 2016 election then decided to take a break in 2020, give me a fucking break.
