British Prime Minister Andy Burnham issued a warning on Sunday to voters in France and Germany regarding the potential for Russian interference in their upcoming elections. Burnham cited what he described as clear evidence of Russian meddling in the 2016 United Kingdom referendum on European Union membership as the basis for his concerns.
The Russian government has consistently denied allegations of involvement in the Brexit vote. Burnham’s remarks serve as a formal caution to European electorates regarding foreign influence in democratic processes following the precedent set during the British referendum.
