🔭 What Europe writes and doesn't reach us here
- Peatlands as anti-tank obstacles. Finnish public broadcaster Yle brought a domestic perspective on which specific wetlands Finland wants to restore and why one reason is the Russian tank. Slovak and Czech media do not cover the topic; we wrote about it from the French Le Monde, this is the first source directly from the country. Yle ↗
- The "Com" network. Nihilist extremism targeting children and teenagers, raids in nine European countries, manipulation, sexual exploitation and incitement to suicide. It includes the case of a fifteen-year-old in prison in Malta, whom Corriere della Sera writes about today — according to his mother, he was extorted by groups luring children online. No Slovak or Czech coverage. La Libre ↗Corriere della Sera ↗
- Who really sent the messages that lured people to Ceuta. Belgian La Libre reconstructs the disinformation campaign, Spanish authorities, according to Hungarian HVG, suspect that the messages did not come from Morocco, and German Welt notes how ARD public broadcaster moderator Georg Restle spreads the theory of an American-Israeli-Moroccan secret operation. Three newsrooms, three different versions of the same question — and a poll showing that 89 percent of Spaniards still blame Morocco. La Libre ↗HVG ↗Welt ↗
