Three French presidential candidates denounce Russian interference in the electoral campaign
Centrist Gabriel Attal claims to be a victim of fake messages spread on X attributed to a network linked to the Kremlin. Édouard Philippe and Raphaël Glucksmann were also the subject of defamation.
French presidential candidate and leader of the centrist party Renaissance, Gabriel Attal, has denounced being the victim of a disinformation operation by pro-Russian networks, eight months before the first round of the presidential election. In recent days, two other candidates for the Élysée, centre-right Édouard Philippe (Horizons) and centre-left Raphaël Glucksmann (Place Publique), have also been targeted by interference and messages spread on the network X with the false logos of some French media outlets, such as BFM, Le Parisien or France24.
