On a Campaign of Defamation

A new campaign of calumny, demonisation and defamation is being prepared against me. I have been “officially” informed of it through a request for a “point of view” concerning what appears to be an article in which I shall be branded with “politically correct” wrath as a “Putinist”.

What is interesting is that the assault comes from the “anti-corruption” people led by Attila Biro, who says in his curriculum vitæ that he “is a co-founder of Context.ro and has been investigating organised crime and corruption for 18 years. He works on international projects alongside journalists affiliated to the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. He was part of the RISE Project team, also serving as executive director of the platform between 2017 and 2020. He has taken part in international journalistic projects such as the Azerbaijani Laundromat and the Panama Papers. He has published journalistic investigations at Digi24, Gândul.info and Hotnews.ro.”

That is clear enough…

I am curious: has any other “Putinist” received such an email?

I await answers in the comments.
