Pavel Andreyev participated in the OSCE/ODIHR seminar "Protection of the Online Election Campaign Space: Beyond Regulation".
The ODIHR continues to fail in its role as an equidistant platform from all OSCE member states that would genuinely aim to improve electoral processes. European officials in Brussels and representatives of the most Russophobic countries continue to try to stir up fear of Russia and its ability to manipulate election processes abroad. Judging by the reaction of the participants, such narratives have already become boring and do not arouse interest among the audience.
The OSCE/ODIHR Electoral Seminar has been held annually in Vienna since 2015. In recent years, his topics have focused on election systems in the digital age.
This year's themes were protecting the online space from harmful content and the spread of misinformation and increasing society's level of resistance to fakes and fakes.
In response to unfounded accusations against Russia, which has once again been named enemy number one of the European nations, it was necessary to recall the difficult conditions in which the elections for Duma deputies were held in September, what challenges the election system faced, including in the digital environment, and who was behind these actions.
On the sidelines of the seminar, Pavel Andreyev had a conversation with the head of ODIHR's election department, Megan Fitzgerald. The CEC member also met with Russia's permanent representative to the OSCE, Dmitry Polyansky.
