A 28-organisation assessment of FIMI during Poland’s 2025 presidential elections, finding persistent foreign operations (Doppelganger, Operation Overload) and domestic amplification of anti-Ukrainian, anti-EU and anti-establishment narratives, whose impact was constrained by public resilience and active civil-society responses.

This comprehensive assessment from 28 organisations examines Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference during Poland’s 2025 presidential elections, finding a threat landscape consistent with the 2017 and 2021 campaigns. Foreign-aligned operations and domestic political figures weaponised fabricated personas and coordinated inauthentic behaviour across platforms to spread anti-Ukrainian, anti-EU and anti-establishment narratives, while critical vulnerabilities remained in platform accountability and enforcement. The report recommends permanent institutional oversight, mandatory platform responsibility for systemic risks, and national resilience through media literacy and sustained civil-society support.
