Emmanuel Macron redeschide dezbaterea privind influența rusă în media europeană

Emmanuel Macron accused journalist Xenia Fedorova of being involved in Russian state propaganda since 2017, a claim he believes remains valid. This statement reignited debates in France regarding her past role at RT France, which was banned in the EU after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Several officials and MEPs have called for action against her, while others argue that pro-Russian voices in media threaten France's position and information security. Macron's comments were made during a visit to Montenegro, where he discussed foreign interference and disinformation. Fedorova's residency permit extension in 2024 has sparked public debate, with some politicians advocating for stricter measures against her.
