Within the framework of our exhibitionFake news. Lies Factory“ which can be visited at the Espacio Fundación Telefónica in Madrid until November 19, 2023, we present the results of the report “Analysis of the impact of disinformation on political, economic, social and security domains, governance models and good practices: the cases of Spain and Portugal”. In cooperation with Elcano Royal Institute.

The European Union has therefore developed many tools to combat disinformation campaigns, but also to better understand them and move towards greater social resilience in the face of hybrid strategies in digital networks.
