The mobilisation that pulled crowds to the Ceuta border this summer ran publicly for weeks before the first crossing – the same recruitment texts, pushed into fourteen Facebook groups, at one point six groups in 81 seconds. A new Repsense study analysed 25,335 posts across nine platforms and traced the machinery behind both crossing attempts.

When a crisis hits Russia, the Kremlin takes on average 18 hours to agree an official position – and until it does, the information space has no owner. A new NATO StratCom COE study by Repsense mapped 3.13 million media items over 15 months and found the propaganda system runs on a schedule: Crisis, Control, Crusade.

GlobalFact 2026, the world's largest fact-checking conference, opened in Vilnius this June. Around it, Repsense observed a small influence campaign form on Facebook within a single day - limited in reach, but built on a familiar three-role pattern.

The election lasted one day. The information campaign lasted eight months. Repsense's analysis of Armenia's 2026 vote shows how narratives spread, evolved and outlived the election itself.

Fidesz controlled an estimated 80% of the country's media landscape and had spent years building coordinated digital infrastructure on top of it. The opposition had neither. On April 12, Péter Magyar's Tisza Party still won 138 of 199 parliamentary seats - a two-thirds supermajority - on record turnout of nearly 80%.
