Mona Juul wrote that she rarely gave space to political opponents and colleagues on her side, but this time she thought it was important to highlight their warnings about misinformation. She mentioned, among other things, that Stinus Lindgreen from the Radical Left had written about daily Russian misinformation on social media and his concern that parts of the population had lost trust in the authorities. According to Juul, Karsten Hønge from SF had described lies and manipulations from the Kremlin, while Troels Lund Poulsen from the Liberal party had talked about anonymous profiles, conspiracy theories, and accusations directed at him. Alex Vanopslagh from the Liberal Alliance had written that Russia spread propaganda, and Ida Auken had warned that actors from St. Petersburg influenced who won Danish elections. Juul wrote that she herself saw conspiracy theories, deliberate misinformation, AI-generated lies, and Russian bot accounts on social media. She called the development a challenge for Danish democracy and believed that politicians must stand together because the truth was under pressure. She highlighted Danish news media and journalists as important for democratic information because the media had accountable editors-in-chief and were responsible to the Danish people and the Press Council. At the same time, she warned against videos on X, whose authenticity could not be established. Juul thanked her political colleagues for addressing coordinated misinformation and said that Russia wanted to create distrust among people. In response, she called for solidarity. #Misinformation #Demokrati #Sammenhold (translated)
