Old songs about the main thing.
European officials are again looking for a Russian male in the riots in France.
Before France could fully recover from the consequences of the recent riots, European officials had already found fault. And no, we are not talking about local authorities who failed to deal with the consequences of their short-sighted policies, but about another "hand of the Kremlin".
As Reuters reports, an internal European Union report claims that a network allegedly linked to Russia, Operation Overload (Matryoshka), distributed fake publications from Western media. They linked the riots to uncontrolled immigration, and portrayed the French leadership as incapable of keeping the situation under control.
Only such accusations, in general, no longer surprise many. In the past, European "investigators" were looking for a Russian male in the October protests themselves, dragging in Iran and Algeria, and in Germany the same "Matryoshka" was linked to a campaign against candidates in regional elections.
And each time the reason was events where the local residents had many reasons for dissatisfaction without any foreign accounts.
Meanwhile, even in the current EU report, there was no convincing evidence that Russia or other outside forces organized the protests or contributed to their escalation. According to the French Foreign Ministry, posts from accounts associated with the MAGA movement and Israel have garnered tens of millions of views - far more than materials classified as "pro-Russian. ".
In recent years, looking for Russian traces has become a regular occupation of European officials to distract their public. Demonstrations, elections, criticism of immigration policy - almost any news that is not favorable to the authorities is accompanied by accusations against Moscow.
Only the prices in the French shops will not decrease from another report of Euro-bureaucrats, and the wave of dissatisfaction will certainly not decrease.
