Russian disinformation in focus ahead of German elections
In the lead-up to upcoming elections in several federal states, numerous fake contents are circulating that undermine the credibility of candidates and portray a divided image of Germany.
In preparations for the elections in Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Lower Saxony, dozens of false reports have been identified. These contents aim to discredit specific candidates.
Experts warn about the implications of such disinformation, which could jeopardize not only the candidates' campaigns but also voters' trust in democracy.
