EXCERPT:
VON DER LEYEN: “We know how painful it is when a small group takes unlimited power and imposes a single vision on all of society. We saw it after the Second World War. And we know it can happen again. And the most fertile ground for this is we're targeted to disinformation, skews the way we see democracy and perceive the world, or where people feel that democracy does not work for them. So together, the world’s democracies, with all our flaws and challenges, must show that democracy can deliver to improve people’s lives and to tackle the biggest global challenges we face.”
