According to CoinMeta, an internal assessment report from the European Union reveals that a secret Russian network attempted to exploit the riots that occurred in France last month by blaming the unrest on out-of-control immigration issues and portraying the government as having lost control. Another internal assessment report prepared by the French Foreign Ministry suggests that social media accounts associated with Israel and the MAGA movement also spread “hostile rhetoric,” linking the riots to radical Islamism and immigration issues. Analysis by experts on fake information in Europe indicates that these assessments collectively reveal how external forces are attempting to use France’s domestic turmoil to achieve their political objectives. The EU’s analysis found that a secret Russian network named “Overload Operation” ( Operation Overload ) spread videos posing as those from Western media, targeting French audiences, with some of these videos claiming that terrorist attacks were about to occur. The Russian Foreign Ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
