Roy called for the X account of the Russian embassy in the Netherlands to be scrutinized and for measures to be taken. He claimed that the account was spreading disinformation and propaganda and seemed to be aimed at undermining democracy and sowing division. He also mentioned that the account demanded responses from Dilan Yesilgöz. Roy referred to Yesilgöz's earlier statement that Russia was the enemy and questioned why there had been no intervention. He believed that Yesilgöz should summon the ambassador and issue a warning, and that the ambassador should be sent back to Moscow next time. As an alternative, he suggested closing the account. Roy described the embassy's activities on X as “(hybrid) warfare” and urged others to share his call or tag those involved. He stated that he had raised the issue several times before. #desinformatie #propaganda #democratie (translated)
