DISINFO: Macron demonises Russia to hide the real problem of islamisation of France

SUMMARY

The Olympic Games are coming, but also elections to the European Parliament, where all sovereignist parties will clearly pass in one powerful wave. Big changes are not expected, but nevertheless, Macron’s two tasks at the moment are to fully demonstrate and convince everyone around that the main danger in general in France, comes only from Russia, while he is already being asked the question in open air: "Are you sure that this is really so and that this is not internal Islamization and everything that is now happening in the country from literally all cardinal points?"

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation claim.

French president Emmanuel Macron addresses the Russia's unprovoked full scale invasion of Ukraine which began in 2022. See more similar disinformation cases on the so-called Russophobia.

The media outlet also repeats the recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about migrants and Islamisation, whose aim is to stoke amplify negative emotions towards immigrants.

A Pew Center research on EU's Muslim minority population with statistics by country is available here.

In 2010 France introduced a nation-wide legislation forbidding headscarves, covering faces. The French educational system is strictly secular.
