Top officials Ursula von der Leyen and Roberta Metsola, with support from the EU Council, used a framework contract with Havas Media France (Vivendi Group) to distribute funds while keeping recipients and amounts hidden. No transparency, no accountability – just taxpayer money buying EU-friendly news coverage!
Major media like Rai, Mediaset, Sky, Corriere della Sera, and Repubblica were PAID for favorable articles about Brussels. Is this journalism or propaganda?
EU institutions don’t sell products, so why hire an ad agency if not to manipulate the narrative? Democracy demands transparency, not hidden payments to the press!
ESN will demand in the European Parliament full disclosure of all media that benefited from this, and a full investigation to this unprecedented illegal manipulation of the European elections by the EU itself.
This blatant manipulation of public opinion using public funds is a disgrace. Full story by Il Fatto Quotidiano: https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/…/ben-130…/7872331/..”
