The article addresses the European Democracy Shield and the question of whether this tool could influence the results of the French elections. The answer presented is negative: the mechanism should not alter the electoral outcome in France.
The text questions why some euro-sceptics continue to argue that the Shield could have an impact on electoral processes, when this is not supported by reality.
One of the explanations given for this persistent belief is related to the strengthening of the European fact-checkers network, which has been gaining greater prominence in combating disinformation during electoral periods.
