Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo: Russia approached MEPs, but also paid them to promote its propaganda. "There was close collaboration" between the Belgian and Czech secret services to destroy a Russian propaganda network.
Voice of Europe - financed and operated by the pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk - would have tried to use MEPs by interviewing them. Among them would be exponents of Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National, of the Flemish ultra-right Vlaams Belang, and Alternative fuer Deutschland.
