What specific methods does Russia employ in its disinformation campaigns, and what are the historical precedents for this type of manipulation?

Russia's disinformation campaign is a key element of its hybrid warfare strategy, targeting EU countries' internal policies and public opinion. This tactic involves rewriting history, suppressing dissenting voices (like historian Yuri Dmitriev), and promoting an imperial narrative to justify its aggression. The EU's East Stratcom Task Force actively combats this propaganda.

How do the additional income sources of MEPs relate to their parliamentary duties and responsibilities?

These additional payments come on top of MEPs' base salary (€124,000), allowances (€59,400), and attendance fees (€52,800). While MEPs can have outside jobs, they must publicly declare them—a rule strengthened after the Qatargate scandal. However, Transparency International's concern lies less with the amount and more with the potential for interference in their daily work.
