Disinformation is causing increasingly serious damage to European democracies

Correio da Manhã29 August 2026 at 15:55

Disinformation is causing increasingly serious damage to European democracies, according to an analysis presented on the "Europa Viva" programme. Germano Almeida's commentary explores the impacts of disinformation in the European Union, warning of the dangers it represents for the democratic functioning of the Member States.

The programme also addresses the issue of new air passenger rights, which will be in force within a 10-year horizon. This change represents a significant alteration in the European civil aviation landscape and in the regulations that protect travellers.

Through his analysis, Germano Almeida seeks to demonstrate how disinformation directly affects the democratic structures of the EU, creating additional challenges for European institutions and for national governments. The "Europa Viva" programme thus serves as a platform for debate on these current European issues.
