00:00What claims are being shared about Bulgaria's Eurozone accession?

00:07While Bulgaria progresses on its path to join the Eurozone by 2026,

00:12disinformation surrounding this has been spreading further,

00:15as members of the far-right pro-Russian revival party disseminate false claims.

00:19In an April interview with Bulgarian commentator Martin Karpovsky,

00:23known for spreading pro-Kremlin narratives,

00:26revival MEP Rado Lykova claimed that European savings could be seized

00:30if not spent within a specific time frame.

00:34Lykova added that Europe was discussing using this money to fund military projects.

00:39This is part of a wider disinformation narrative

00:42which falsely accuses Brussels of wanting to dip into taxpayers' savings.

00:47In reality, European savings are protected by a number of legal mechanisms

00:51and cannot be seized indiscriminately.

00:54The revival party's leader, Kostadin Kostadinov,

00:57has also asserted that joining the Eurozone would lead to Bulgarians losing their savings.

01:02He said that the left-euro exchange rate,

01:04which will come into place once the euro has been introduced,

01:06would be less profitable.

01:08This is false, as the Bulgarian parliament has set a fixed exchange rate

01:12before the change happens.

01:13Meanwhile, experts told Euroverify that disinformation around the Eurozone and Bulgaria

01:18has been shared by actors who serve Russia's strategic interests,

01:22adding that the Bulgarian population is particularly vulnerable to it.

01:26Anti-eurozone disinformation campaigns are really effective in Bulgaria.

01:30And a key factor in enabling these types of campaigns to be effective

01:34is the low media literacy in the country.

01:38According to a 2023 Eurobarometer survey,

01:41only 31% of Bulgarians possess basic digital skills,

01:45which is far below the EU average of 54%.

01:49And this gap makes the public more acceptable to fear-based narratives.
