Meta blocks social media of Slovak pro-Russian bike group
Founder threatens MEPs.
Meta blocked the Facebook and Instagram accounts of pro-Russian bike group Brat za Brata (Brother for Brother). Taking to social media, the group's founder Matúš Alexa threatened the MEPs whom he blames for the decision, reports SITA newswire.
"I will honestly say that they have reasons to be afraid. The fact that you deleted our Facebook and Instagram accounts certainly won't hurt us. Our journey continues, and with your actions, you just showed us that you greatly fear the Brat za Brata family, which is great. Because now we will be in your dreams, you will see us more often, and you will have nightmares about us. If you want to press further, just hope that we don't create a political party and will have you put behind bars."
In regards to MEPs, he said that the group has their names.
Experts call the bike group, sometimes likened to the Night Wolves bikers close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, "pro-Kremlin" or "pro-Russian". Alexa founded the former after he left the Night Wolves.
According to the Ján Kuciak Investigative Centre, the group proudly display their ties with Russian officials, and promote Russian culture, foreign policy, its narratives and propaganda. The group also visited Russia and Belarus after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
