The EU Defense of Democracy package is a key initiative designed to fight disinformation and prevent foreign governments from undermining European democracy. In this video, Vera Jourova discusses how the EU is implementing new laws and safeguards to protect elections, promote transparency, and strengthen the integrity of democratic processes. One of the core measures is the requirement for transparency in foreign funding, ensuring that citizens are informed of any financial influence from external governments. The EU is also enhancing cybersecurity to protect elections from digital interference, safeguarding voter integrity and trust. Through surveillance protections, the EU ensures that politicians and journalists are free from intrusive monitoring, allowing for open debate and free expression. The package promotes an active civic space, empowering citizens to engage in democracy and resist foreign manipulation. Watch how the EU, led by efforts from Vera Jourova, is combating disinformation and protecting the core values of democracy across Europe. #EUDisinformation #DefenseOfDemocracy #VeraJourova #ElectionSecurityEU #CybersecurityEU #ForeignInterferenceEU #TransparencyEU #EUCommission #EuropeanUnion Disclaimer: This video includes Reuters copyrighted library material licensed by EbS, which cannot be used as part of a new production without the consent of the copyright holder.
