Alegerile din Germania, în centrul dezinformării rusești. Campania îi urmărește pe rivalii politici ai partidului de extremă dreapta AfD

German authorities have noted an increase in disinformation campaigns ahead of regional elections, primarily targeting political rivals of the far-right AfD party. Russian efforts aim to polarize the political climate and discredit the current government. The campaigns, dubbed 'Matryoshka', are monitored but not actively countered by officials. Fake videos, often using AI, are widely shared on social media, falsely accusing local politicians of various crimes. The AfD, known for its pro-Russian stance, is notably spared from these attacks. The German government warns of ongoing Russian disinformation efforts, especially as the AfD gains popularity in eastern states.
