Russian Disinformation Campaign Targets French Presidential Candidate Raphaël Glucksmann

Raphaël Glucksmann, a probable candidate for the 2027 French presidential election, has denounced a Russian disinformation campaign targeting him. The campaign involved fake videos, false information, and the usurpation of identities of French journalists Léa Salamé and Edwy Plenel. Glucksmann, who chairs the European Parliament's special committee on foreign interference, has written books on the subject and has previously denounced Russian operations. He calls for firmness against digital platforms like TikTok and X to protect the election.
