英国首相伯纳姆近日表示，尽管俄罗斯对2016年脱欧公投进行了干涉，但他认为这次投票本身仍是合法的1。唐宁街发言人确认了首相的这一立场1。
伯纳姆在接受采访时透露，他就任首相后被告知俄罗斯曾在2016年欧盟公投中进行干涉2。他表示："我问过来到唐宁街的问题：'2016年公投中是否有来自俄罗斯的干涉？'我得到了明确的答案，是的，有。"2 这一声明重新激化了英国政界长期以来关于脱欧投票合法性的争议2。
根据英国议会跨党派情报和安全委员会2020年7月发布的俄罗斯报告，政府曾得出结论称"未见或未寻求英国民主进程中成功干涉的证据"2。2016年的干涉涉及多个方面：俄罗斯推特账户数量在54至150000个之间，RT和卫星电视台发布了261篇文章获得1.34亿次潜在浏览，脱欧捐助者阿伦·班克斯还与俄罗斯大使有过接触2。2016年脱欧公投共有3350万人投票2。伯纳姆计划在议会做进一步说明2。
The British Prime Minister has asserted that the 2016 Brexit referendum vote remains legitimate, even as officials acknowledge Russian interference in the ballot, according to statements from Downing Street.1 A Downing Street spokesperson confirmed the Prime Minister's position that while Russian interference did occur, the vote itself was valid.1
The assertion has reignited longstanding controversy over the integrity of the Brexit outcome. According to the Prime Minister, when questioning officials at Downing Street, he posed the question: "Was there interference from Russia in the 2016 referendum?" and received an affirmative answer.2 However, a 2020 report by Parliament's cross-party Intelligence and Security Committee concluded that the government had "found no or sought no evidence of successful interference in UK democratic processes."2 The Prime Minister is scheduled to deliver a parliamentary statement on Monday regarding Brexit and Europe.2
The debate centers on specific areas of alleged Russian activity during the 2016 campaign, including Russian Twitter accounts numbering between 54,000 and 150,000, content from RT and Sputnik television that garnered approximately 134 million potential views across 261 articles, and contact between Brexit donor Arron Banks and a Russian ambassador.2 The 2016 EU referendum attracted 33.5 million voters.2
