The "Matrioșka" bot network has launched a disinformation campaign ahead of Spain's upcoming elections, spreading alarming messages about economic collapse due to support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. The campaign promotes radical solutions like Spain leaving the EU and Catalonia's independence. Researchers from AntiBot4Navalny are monitoring these activities, which involve mass distribution of false information through coordinated bots and trolls. The campaign uses fake news styled as credible reports from major media outlets to manipulate public perception and create artificial information waves. Key themes include the housing crisis in Spain and the assertion that elections won't improve the socio-economic situation.
