Over the course of the summer, Céline Berthon, the first woman to lead France's domestic intelligence agency (the General Directorate for Internal Security) was targeted by a disinformation campaign, which alleged she had resigned.
In July, two screenshots of an article that appeared to have been published by French newspaper Le Monde emerged on social media sharing these allegations, however, Berthon, who started this position in January 2024, is still in office.
