Origin

2025 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 3, second sentence, after the words "covertly fund political campaigns", insert the following words:

", interfere in Poland's 2023 parliamentary elections,"

Explanatory note

In 2023, Russian hackers influenced the election in Poland, sending large volumes of text messages & hacking TV screens in major shopping malls, with false messages disguised as campaign ads, falsely claiming that one of the parties (critical of Russia) will cut social programmes or introduce mandatory military service.
