In connection with allegations of espionage against a Bulgarian citizen, researchers from the directorate of the state of Security and Intelligence (DSN) have “discovered an extensive Russian disinformation campaign in Austria” …
The woman is suspected of having spied Russia and is decisive for the implementation of a disinformation surgery that is checked there, the DSN said in a broadcast on Monday.
The aim of this hidden campaign was to manipulate the public and political opinion about the disadvantage of Ukraine and advantage of Russia. “The distribution of false story, fake news and manipulative content undermines trust in our institutions and social cohesion in danger,” said State Secretary Jörg Leichtfried (Spö).
The spread of disinformation has the potential to influence elections, to promote political instability and to endanger democratic society. “We are not allowed to make a opinion in politics and the public to be checked from outside. We Austria prefer to form our own opinion.”
