One case: https://www.euronews.com/2019/05/02/french-government-claims... There were others, but I'm too lazy to search. I remember seeing one other at least. Never seen any fake news problem with yellow vest. Usually Lemonde is prompt to denounce them.

That's just outright laughable.

Here's a 20 page report detailing how the yellow vest groups have been flooded by fake news, presumably by foreign agents.

You can be sure where ever there's angry people in the world Russia will be there to help fan the flames.
