European Parliament Urgently Investigates Russian Influence Operations

Members of the European Parliament are calling for an urgent debate into a Russian influence scandal after top European officials revealed that a pro-Kremlin website spread propaganda and "paid" European politicians. Meanwhile, the College of Europe has launched a probe following an incident where a student's door was daubed with a swastika, and Transport Commissioner Adina Vălean is set to run for a seat in the EU Parliament. Additionally, French President Macron has formed a new association, the "New Europeans" club, in an effort to unite fragmented EU liberals.
