Disinfo: Macron urged EU countries to abandon their sovereignty

Summary

French President Emmanuel Macron urged EU countries to abandon their sovereignty.

Disproof

In fact, the French president did not urge the EU countries to abandon their sovereignty. In his speech to the Bundestag he said: "Europe, and within it the Franco-German couple, have the obligation not to let the world slip into chaos and to guide it on the road to peace (...) That's why Europe must be stronger... and win more sovereignty". This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about EU' sovereignty.

Disinfo: Migrants are being Islamized in Europe

Europe is being destroyed by migrants and bureaucrats. Migrants which are coming to Europe are not religious, but they become Islamists there. If you’re not going to a mosque in Germany, then you are not Syrian and you’ll be deported. The system is supposed to keep only unscrupulous refugees in the country.
