EU Parliament to take action against ‘elite capture’ by Russia and China

The European Parliament calls for more action in the fight against disinformation, foreign interference, and elite capture. The EU must introduce its own sanctions regime against disinformation and ensure that Russia cannot recruit top politicians such as Gerhard Schröder or François Fillon in the future and use them for its own purposes, said the chairman of the INGE Committee, Raphaël Glucksmann (S&D, France).
