Raphaël Glucksmann confirmed on Tuesday that he had filed a complaint following alleged Russian interference targeting him. The MEP had denounced what he called a destabilization operation in early August. A completely fabricated video circulated on social media, adding a new dimension to the attempts to manipulate French political figures.
A complaint to shed light on the matter
The legal action comes as disinformation campaigns intensify in the lead-up to the 2027 presidential election. Glucksmann thus joins the list of French political figures targeted by operations attributed to foreign actors. The use of manipulated videos represents a worrying development in interference techniques.
The complaint filed by the MEP should help identify the perpetrators and those who facilitated this campaign. French authorities have increased their vigilance in the face of these threats to the integrity of democratic debate. The case could set a precedent in the legal handling of digital manipulation targeting potential candidates.
