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.

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.
