End Of The Meeting On Safeguarding Democratic Debates Against Foreign Interference At Matignon Hotel
French leftist party La France Insoumise (LFI) MP Manuel Bompard speaks to the press as he leaves a meeting with France's Prime Minister, political parties, and security institutions representatives on safeguarding democratic debates against foreign interference, at the Matignon Hotel in Paris, France, on June 11, 2026. The meeting follows a probe opened by Paris prosecutors in May to investigate whether an Israeli company interfered in local French elections. The case was initiated after several far-left candidates claimed 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 to spread inaccurate or misleading content.
