"Mr President, I supported this proposal, sharing the rapporteur’s belief that combating anti-EU propaganda and disinformation by third countries is essential – in the first place to uphold democratic values and a united Europe. EU citizens cannot effectively legitimise us, and the work we do on their behalf, if they do not have access to accurate information.
Speaking from an Irish point of view, investing in education in order to equip the public better for critical thinking has long been a priority. As Franklin D. Roosevelt stated, democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. Given the prevalence of disinformation, stemming in particular nowadays from electronic means of dissemination such as social media, it is imperative that we collaborate on deconstructing such propaganda. I therefore welcome the recommendations offered in this report."@en1
