Spain suggests Russians behind Catalonia unrest

Spain on Monday warned its European Union partners about a disinformation campaign aimed at destabilizing its volatile northeast region of Catalonia, which Madrid claims appears to be coming from Russia.

Spanish Defense Minister Maria Dolores de Cospedal told reporters that “many of the actions come from Russian territory,” but that it’s not yet possible to determine what their exact source is or if the Russian government is involved.

She said some of them are “repeated from Venezuelan territory.”
