President of Renew Europe writes to European parliament president after reports Russian influence network had paid current or former members
The Greens have also called for an investigation into possible Russian interference attempts in Europe’s upcoming elections.
“This isn’t the first time it’s been proven that those far right politicians who loudly claim to champion the cause of their country, are secretly accepting money from foreign countries,” said European Green lead candidate Terry Reintke.
This undermines our European unity. This is how Putin is trying to get away with his war in Ukraine. This is not just a breach of trust; it’s a direct attack on the very fabric of our democracy. The politicians who have received money from Russia should be severely punished, both politically and legally.
