Tajani “I do not exclude possible attempts by Russia to interfere in the elections in Italy and EU countries” / Video

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “We are united with Germany for what happened” in Leipzig. “There are a series of attacks by Russians, hybrid war attacks, not a war fought with weapons, but this is unacceptable.” The Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said this at a press point in Wicklow, Ireland, where he is at the informal meeting of EU foreign ministers. “I do not exclude that there may be attempts by the Russian Federation to interfere in the democratic life of the countries of the European Union, interfering on the free democratic elections that take place in our countries trying to condition with this activity of hybrid war the popular will and this would be truly unacceptable.”.

“We are not at war with the Russian Federation – adds Tajani – but we reject political attacks. Also the attempt that emerged during the Spanish referendum on the issue of Catalonia, there was always a Russian action to seek, through fake news and images not answering the truth, to condition the will of citizens. This is not excluded from repeating itself, it is not excluded that they use all the tools to weaken the position of the European Union,” he added.

“The Financial Times can write what they want. You always have to try what you say. I hope that this is absolutely false”, so answering a question about the article that defines Roberto Vannacci “Craw of Troy of Russia”.
