Watch episode

Where are the values that protect democracies threatened by disinformation? What dangers are fueling the new tyrannies? Don't miss this interview with Timothy Snyder, Professor of History at Yale University.

In a world dominated by fake news and populism, democracy cannot be taken for granted. A huge amount of work is required to teach people to resist the tendency to believe what they already believe or what legitimises choices they have previously made, argues Timothy Snyder.

The professor of history at Yale University is the guest of this [IN]Pertinente interview, the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos’ digital programme featuring analysis from major international personalities from the world of politics, economics and society.
