This is my QUICK translation, read but do not circulate I may have flubbed something
The En Marche! movement (party) has been a victim of a massive and coordinated hack which today led to the spread of a variety of internal materials (mails, documents, financial accounts, contracts) on social media.
The documents that circulated were obtained several weeks ago thanks to hacking the work email accounts of several members of the movement.
Those that are circulating the documents have added to the authentic documents a number of false documents in order to spread doubt and disinformation.
By intervening during these final hours of the official campaign, this attack smacks of an attempt to destabilize our democracy, like the attempts against the United States in the last presidential election.
During the whole campaign, En Marche! has been the party most frequently targeted by these attempts, in an intense and repeated way.
The intention of the authors of this hit and run is to harm En Marche! just hours before the second round of the French presidential election.
Obviously, the documents that came from this hack are all legal and represent the normal function of a political campaign. Their spread makes public internal data but it's not of the kind that we're worried about the legality and properness of the documents in question.
The accounts (contracts / agreements) of the campaign, of which certain scattershot elements were spread, will be disclosed at the regular time to the National Commission on Campaign Accounts. We expect, however, attention to be paid to the fact that a number of the documents published relate to provisional contracts that were never actually finalized.
We appeal to the media who wish to discuss this attack to keep in mind their responsibility. This is not a regular hack attack, but an effort to destabilize the french election. It is thus important to think about the nature of the stolen documents, keep in mind that many of the spread documents are false, and if one repeats them then one amplifies the destabilizing effect of the attack.
We will do everything necessary with public and private actors to clarify the details of this attack during the French election campaign.
The seriousness of the facts is already certainly: we would not want to tolerate the vital interests of our democracy being endangered.
