Criza migraţiei din Ceuta, alimentată de mesaje de extremă dreaptă răspândite de conturi legate de Rusia • Newsweek România

The migration crisis in Ceuta, involving around 70,000 migrants, was exacerbated by far-right messages spread by Russian-linked social media accounts. An analysis revealed that these accounts reached over 500,000 people shortly after the influx. Experts noted a significant increase in the organization and coordination of disinformation efforts compared to previous years. The narratives promoted a far-right perspective, labeling the events as a deliberate 'assault' and suggesting complicity from authorities. Social media played a crucial role in encouraging migration attempts and amplifying reactions. The rapid spread of extremist messages was facilitated by channels like Rybar, linked to Russian intelligence, highlighting a concerning trend in information warfare across Europe.
