Jefe del MI5 advierte no exagerar la influencia rusa en el referéndum Brexit

El jefe del MI5, Sir Ken McCallum, declaró que hay evidencia de que medios rusos y actividades en línea apuntaron al referéndum del Brexit de 2016, y el primer ministro Andy Burnham afirmó que la interferencia rusa era probable, aunque su efecto permanece incierto. En declaraciones anteriores, Burnham había sostenido que Rusia intervino en el referéndum y advirtió sobre posibles acciones similares en Francia y Alemania; también afirmó que el voto era legítimo, aunque resultaba inconcebible que Rusia no intentara influir en él, y urgió a los votantes europeos a estar mejor informados sobre la injerencia extranjera.
