The limited impact of destabilisation efforts is attributed to the war in Ukraine diverting Russian resources, institutional pressure from the French government and EU (specifically the Digital Services Act), the regulated nature of the French electoral system, and the continued influence of traditional media. However, the authors warn of a growing trend of distrust in democratic institutions and the normalisation of polarising rhetoric by far-right actors using coordinated inauthentic behaviour and astroturfing.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000093#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"The French information ecosystem demonstrated relative resistance to destabilisation in 2022, which the authors attribute to five factors: the diversion of Russian resources due to the war in Ukraine, the structural safeguards of the French electoral system, increased institutional pressure on stakeholders, the continued agenda-setting power of traditional media, and an established network of fact-checkers.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000093#insight-1","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Russian influence operations shifted focus toward justifying the invasion of Ukraine, and the EU ban on RT and Sputnik significantly reduced their output; for example, RT's election-related publications between the two voting rounds dropped from approximately 190 in 2017 to 13 in 2022.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000093#insight-2","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The French electoral system provides structural resistance to fraud narratives through the lack of remote voting, a dense network of approximately 69,682 polling stations, and strict regulations on political advertising and campaign budgets.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000093#insight-3","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"There was a notable attempt to import US-style electoral fraud narratives, specifically the 'Dominion' theory; the word 'Dominion' was mentioned 45,000 times on Twitter over two days in mid-March.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000093#insight-4","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Far-right actors, particularly supporters of Éric Zemmour, extensively used astroturfing and coordinated inauthentic behaviour to inflate their online presence.
