Brussels – Russia with its propaganda machine, sure. But that’s not all. Spain sees a widespread problem of outside interference in the decision-making process in Europe and calls\u00a0for a discussion at a\u00a0leader level. “We are asking for an item on fake news and foreign interference on the agenda of the March 20 European Council summit<\/strong>,” said\u00a0Fernando Mariano Sampedro, secretary of state for the EU, as he arrives in Brussels for the work of the General Affairs Council, devoted precisely to preparing for the summit.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0provisional agenda<\/a> of the EU heads of state and government meeting has seven items: Ukraine, Middle East, competitiveness, new multi-year budget (MFF 2028-2034), immigration, oceans, and foreign affairs. Madrid is proposing an addition to an already full agenda with sensitive topics nonetheless.<\/p>\n

However, the issue of external pressure on the EU is also delicate. Sampedro does not go into specifics. He raises the issue of “foreign interference,” including by Elon Musk, CEO of X and Tesla, who has gone out of his way to indicate who to vote for in German elections<\/a>. Now, however, Musk is part of the US administration, so there is a risk of a new clash with US\u00a0President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
