The unrest in France was influenced by the Russians, Israel and the American MAGA movement, according to an internal European Union report.
Reuters reports that a hidden Russian network used the October unrest in France to spread disinformation blaming immigrants and portraying the government as weak. It also allegedly found that MAGA accounts linked to Israel and Americans also promoted anti-immigration and anti-Islam narratives.
Between October 16 and 18, the top 10 MAGA-related posts received 49 million views, compared to 35 million for Israel-related posts and 2.8 million for pro-Russian posts.
The EU found no evidence that foreign actors incited the unrest, only that they used it to influence public opinion.
