Public Service Announcement: Russia‘s propaganda botnets are going all-out trying to promote Victor Órban before the elections in Hungary, with a whole host of hair-raising disinformation narratives. The „act of terror“ story is still strong, so stay vigilant.
Account detections courtesy of @dTeamUS. Sometimes the narratives are subsequently picked up by MAGA propaganda accounts or the Hungarian press. They often contain false allegations implicating Ukraine. Putin‘s propaganda warriors, MAGA and Órban‘s media lackeys: hand in hand.
Meanwhile, as per the The Washington Post, Russians proposed staging a fake assassination attempt to sway the election.
