France has ordered the deportation of journalist Xenia Fedorova, who has been accused of spreading Russian propaganda. In 2017, shortly after his election, President Emmanuel Macron refused to acknowledge Fedorova as a journalist. Now, the country has ordered her to leave for amplifying Kremlin narratives.
The French Interior Ministry said that Fedorova's continued airtime serves to 'undermine the interests of the state' and her continued stay in the country 'constitutes a particularly senior and current threat to public order.' Fedorova is currently on house arrest and is ordered to report to a police station every day.
