Quote: “I’m afraid that Voice of Europe [a platform involved in the campaign to influence the European Parliament elections, which spread Russian propaganda in the EU – ed.]. This fake media outlet is likely just the tip of the iceberg.”
Jourová noted that when it comes to Russian disinformation, Germany, France and Poland are under extreme pressure.
Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin is trying to invest in these Central European countries, “because he hopes to make a big profit from changing public opinion,” she said.
She called for more resistance in the EU “because the danger is getting even greater.”
