O operaţiune de dezinformare rusească l-a vizat pe Edouard Philippe, candidat la alegerile prezidenţiale din Franța

A disinformation campaign targeting Edouard Philippe, a candidate in the upcoming French presidential elections, has been linked to the pro-Russian network Storm-1516. This marks the first such operation against a declared candidate, raising concerns about foreign interference in the elections. Philippe, a center-right candidate and former Prime Minister, faced false claims about his health on social media. The French government is aware of the heightened risk of foreign meddling in future elections and has proposed legislation to combat misinformation.
