The boat “Aquarius” is run by smugglers. The United Nations and the European Commission have a clear interest in keeping on bringing African migrants to Europe.
The Aquarius is a ship operated by SOS Mediteranée in cooperation with Médicins Sans Frontières. No evidence given for the claims of an EU/UN plot.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
