Assessment of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference in the 2025 Czech Parliamentary Election
Found the 2025 Czech elections resilient: no evidence of coordinated, large-scale foreign interference capable of changing the outcome. Russian-linked actors focused on eroding trust via fraud narratives and content laundering (outlets like neČT24 and the Pravda network) across X, TikTok and Telegram rather than disrupting the vote itself.

This coalition assessment (GLOBSEC, Debunk.org, ISD, DEN Institute and Alliance4Europe, via the FIMI-ISAC framework) examines foreign information-manipulation threats around the 2025 Czech parliamentary elections. It concludes that while Russian state-linked actors maintained active disinformation networks, their efforts failed to disrupt the electoral process or public confidence, and the elections remained legitimate and technically resilient. Persistent vulnerabilities remained, however, as malign actors pursued longer-term goals of undermining institutional trust, weakening Ukrainian and NATO support, and amplifying polarisation around migration and defence spending through coordinated cross-platform campaigns.
