French authorities say a Russian disinformation campaign is targeting Gabriel Attal, a presidential candidate. RTE reports that a government body and a member of Attal’s team have described the effort as part of a wider pattern of interference, involving online activity designed to influence public opinion. Jowhar.com adds that security officials allege the operation uses fabricated claims circulated online to undermine Attal, described as a former prime minister. Both accounts characterize the allegations as focused on disinformation rather than direct voting interference, and they portray the activity as aimed at shaping the outcome of a major political contest. The reports also place the claims within the broader context of heightened concern about foreign meddling in European elections, as France prepares for a high-stakes presidential race. While details of the specific messages or platforms are not provided in the excerpts, the central points in the reporting are that French officials are investigating or publicizing an alleged Russian campaign and that Attal and associates say he has been singled out.
