Dublin MEP Clare Daly this morning slammed a European Parliament report on foreign interference in EU democratic processes including disinformation.
The report is the outcome of work by the European Parliament’s Special Committee on Foreign Interference which was set up in 2020.
The report states “it is deeply concerned about the growing incidence and increasingly sophisticated nature of foreign interference and information manipulation attempts”. And it says “they are conducted overwhelmingly by Russia and China”.
However, Clare Daly says the Committee’s inquiry “was used to inflate threats of Russian and Chinese interference”. And she says the report itself constitutes “disinformation” because she claims it “lacks balance and objectivity”.
