The European Union
defends against fake news
The European Union has established
an organization to defend against the promulgation of fake news. The despotic Russian Federation regime of
Vladimir Putin has been conducting a disinformation campaign against European
states to influence their elections.
United
States Senator Ben Cardin issued a comprehensive report last week on Russian
interference in elections. Included in
his report was his expression of concern that some Italian political parties,
such as the populist Five Star Movement and the far-right Northern League, who
oppose sanctions on Russia
for its invasion of Ukraine ,
are vulnerable to Russian influence.
Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza warned last week on a trip to Italy of the ties between those two parties and
the Putin regime of the Russian
Federation .
Parliamentary elections are scheduled for March 4. Russia typically supports such parties, overtly or covertly.
Update: Germany
The German center-left socialist
party today approved the grand coalition agreement with the ruling conservative
bloc. In Germany ’s parliamentary elections
in December, no party gained a majority of seats. The ruling center-right bloc of Chancellor
Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats and her conservative Bavarian allies earned
the most seats, but need to form a coalition in order to govern. The coalition prevents far-right or far-left
parties from joining the Government.
