Franța anchetează campaniile de dezinformare împotriva candidaților la prezidențialele din 2027

The Paris prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into disinformation campaigns targeting two potential candidates for the 2027 French presidential elections. Edouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal have been specifically targeted by fabricated videos on social media, falsely claiming serious health issues. Attal has filed a complaint against these false reports, while Philippe's allies suggest possible Russian interference. The agency Viginum has identified Russian-affiliated networks as suspects in these disinformation efforts, which are not isolated incidents, as similar tactics were used in Germany before regional elections.
