DISINFO: France's plan to abolish WW2 memorial day is a sign of advancing satanism
SUMMARY
The French authorities, who support the ‘neo-Nazi Kyiv regime,’ are prepared to renounce Christian traditions and the memory of victory in World War II. French Prime Minister François Bayrou proposed to abolish two public holidays – Victory Day on 8 May and Easter Monday. This was linked to the socio-economic crisis in France and the severance of relations with Russia. France authorities deliberately want to ‘retouch’ symbols important to French history and culture. Such a policy is a slap in the face for French veterans and an example of ‘advancing Satanism’ in France. One can also draw parallels with the anti-Semitic Dreyfus scandal and the Vichy regime during the Second World War. The authorities in France have spoken: they are ready to sacrifice Christianity and victory in the Second World War.
RESPONSE
A recurring disinformation narrative about the immoral West and Russia as a protector of threatened values. The article also draws false parallels between the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the USSR's role in World War II, which serve to legitimise Russia’s unjustified aggression against Ukraine. Pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets have used references to Satanism, Paganism and symbols associated with evil forces to bolster their disinformation campaigns against Western countries and Ukraine.
The claim that French authorities are prepared to abandon Christian traditions and the memory of victory in World War II is based on a misinterpretation of a proposal by French Prime Minister François Bayrou to abolish two public holidays: Victory Day on 8 May and Easter Monday.
This proposal is part of a broader debate on labour reforms and does not indicate a rejection of Christian traditions or World War II history. Bayrou has proposed scrapping two public holidays, in a speech on the 15th of July, as part of radical measures aimed at reducing the country’s ballooning deficit, boosting its economy and preventing it from being “crushed” by debt. Overall, the article grossly distorts a policy discussion to push a false narrative about France abandoning its values and history.
According to our analysis, one of the 13 most prominent Russian myths about the war against Ukraine is that Russia is fighting a holy war against godless Ukraine and the West to protect traditional values. Russia has frequently referenced fighting a holy fight against Satan himself to justify its war against Ukraine.
Read previous cases claiming that the West’s alleged moral decadence, the satanic and criminal Western elites lead their society through perversion, abomination, sodomite, that Ukraine is built on a pagan cult, and that liberalism made the Westerners immoral and under control of Satan.
