This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jean-Noël Barrot said in an interview with Ouest-France that Russian propaganda was being disseminated across social media platforms on a weekly basis.
“Not a week goes by without France being the target of coordinated and deliberate manoeuvres to disrupt public debate and interfere in the campaign for the European elections.”
Belgium, which holds the six-month rotating presidency of the EU, said it was looking at activating a temporary crisis taskforce to monitor and coordinate the response to Russian disinformation campaigns.
The Czech government recently discovered an alleged Russian disinformation operation aimed at influencing the EU elections.
The EU regularly warns about the rise in disinformation, sometimes targeting the election, but also to sow the seed that civil society is crumbling, and to amplify dissent on issues such as Ukraine, migration and LGBTQ rights.
Its disinformation unit has identified 17,000 specific cases of false information on social media and doppelganger sites.
