Meeting On Safeguarding Democratic Debates Against Foreign Interference At Matignon Hotel

French centre-right party MoDem MP Bruno Fuchs arrives for a meeting with France's Prime Minister, gathering representatives from several political parties and security institutions, at the Matignon Hotel in Paris, France, on June 11, 2026. The meeting focuses on safeguarding democratic debates against foreign interference after Paris prosecutors opened a probe in May to investigate whether an Israeli company interfered in local French elections. The investigation was initiated following claims by several far-left candidates that they were targeted by disinformation campaigns. France's government body responsible for combatting online disinformation, Viginum, reported observing a system of artificial or automated dissemination spreading inaccurate or misleading content.
