  • Approximately 70 people protested outside the CNews studios in Paris against Russian propagandist Xenia Fedorova.
  • Protesters accuse Fedorova of being a "mouthpiece for Putin" and regularly appearing on media owned by Vincent Bolloré.
  • The demonstration called for urgent action against what they described as the dissemination of Kremlin-aligned narratives.

Dozens gathered outside the Paris studios of CNews on Wednesday to protest the regular media presence of Xenia Fedorova, whom demonstrators labeled a "mouthpiece for Putin." Around 70 people participated in the rally, expressing strong opposition to Fedorova's appearances on media outlets owned by Vincent Bolloré.

Protesters voiced concerns that Fedorova serves as a conduit for Kremlin propaganda, regularly disseminating narratives aligned with Russian government interests. The demonstration, organized under the banner "It is urgent to react," highlighted the perceived danger of allowing such voices regular access to mainstream media platforms.

The rally focused on the specific role Fedorova plays in amplifying Russian viewpoints, with participants arguing that her consistent presence on CNews contributes to the normalization of what they consider state-sponsored disinformation. The call for action underscored a desire to counter what is seen as the unchecked spread of pro-Russian sentiment within French media.
