DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The system of Western values has collapsed

SUMMARY

The fight against the coronavirus is not over, but it has become obvious that the Western human-centric system of values has collapsed. Nothing is heard anymore about the LGBT rights. What is now going to happen to toilets for the third gender, that was so loudly discussed in Germany? Where are the demands to organise gay parades? And news about the Western stars changing the gender of their children? Nothing is heard anymore about the German invitation for refugees, and any politician who will return to this topic, will become a political corpse.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Western values, portraying them in the context of moral decline. While the European Union is focused on overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains committed it its values, including human dignity. The European Commission has also issued guidance on the implementation of relevant EU rules on asylum and return procedures and on resettlement in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, for the EU members states, to ensure the continuity of procedures and the respect of basic rights. This disinformation message appeared in the same TV broadcast as the claim that the West have disposed of Ukraine like trash. See related examples of pro-Kremlin disinformation, alleging that the global liberal world order has collapsed; that EU and US put profit before health; that coronavirus was sent by God to punish homosexuals and environmentalists.
