英国政治家Andy Burnham表示,俄罗斯对2016年英国脱欧公投进行了明确的干预。1Burnham在进入唐宁街时询问了这一问题,他表示"我问了一个问题:2016年公投中是否存在来自俄罗斯的干预?我得到了明确的答案——是的,确实存在"。1这一声明与过去保守党政府的立场形成了显著对比,该政府一直坚持俄罗斯在公投中未能成功干预。1
2020年议会情报与安全委员会的报告曾批评英国政府和情报机构未能充分调查俄罗斯对脱欧公投的潜在干预。1与此相比,美国在2016年总统选举后进行了系统的调查,而英国政府始终未能提供关于俄罗斯干预企图的公投后评估。1总理上月在联合国大会演讲中表示,有证据表明莫斯科曾试图干预2019年英国大选。1Burnham呼吁英国更加公开讨论敌对国家对民主进程的干扰,认为这对德国和法国等国家的选民理解当前政治现状同样重要。1
British politician Andy Burnham has stated that Russia clearly interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum, declaring upon entering Downing Street: "I asked the question coming to Downing Street: well, was there interference in the 2016 referendum from Russia? I've had the clear answer that yes, there was."1 This assertion represents a significant departure from the previous Conservative government's consistent position that Russia had not successfully interfered in the vote.1
Burnham's claim aligns with findings from Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee, which in 2020 criticized the government and intelligence agencies for failing to adequately investigate potential Russian interference in the referendum.1 The British government has notably not provided a post-referendum assessment regarding Russian interference attempts, contrasting with the comprehensive investigation conducted by the United States following the 2016 presidential election.1 The Prime Minister stated last month during a United Nations General Assembly speech that evidence exists showing Moscow attempted to interfere in the 2019 general election.1
Burnham has called for greater public discussion in the United Kingdom about how hostile states disrupt democratic processes, emphasizing that such transparency is important for voters in Germany and France to understand their political circumstances.1 During discussions with German Chancellor Merz, Burnham addressed concerns regarding connections between the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) and Russia.1
