Alegerile din Germania, în centrul falsurilor rusești

Ahead of regional elections in Germany, false information targeting candidates is spreading, linked to a Russian influence operation. Eric Stehr, a candidate, faces fabricated accusations that have no basis in reality. Investigations reveal over 180 false posts on social media, primarily aimed at discrediting candidates from various parties. The Matrioșka operation, which has previously targeted other elections, is now focusing on Germany, with indications of Russian involvement. The campaign employs sophisticated media spoofing techniques to mislead voters, promoting narratives that create division between East and West Germany. Experts warn of the potential impact on the political landscape.
