DISINFO: Germany maintains dominance of the EU bloc through keeping the rest of the countries weak

SUMMARY

The de-facto leader of the EU, Germany, is dedicated to keeping the rest of the bloc weak so as to maintain its economic dominance of the continent.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about “lost sovereignty”. European countries are not “dominated” by Germany or any other party. See similar disinformation cases alleging that Ukraine is ruled by foreigners, the Baltic states are not really countries, and the EU is directed by Washington.

Disclaimer

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
