Deputy Prime Minister approached combating disinformation and importance of gender equality in Strasbourg
The experience of the Republic of Moldova in combating disinformation and commitment to promoting human rights and the equal participation of women in decision-making processes were discussed at an event of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), attended by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs Mihai Popșoi.
The event, dedicated to the role of women in multilateralism, brought together high-ranking Council of Europe officials, including PACE President Petra Bayr, Venice Commission President Marta Cartabia and the Head of the Directorate General of Democracy and Human Dignity (DGII), Marja Ruotanen.
In his speech, Mihai Popșoi highlighted the challenges faced by the Republic of Moldova in the fight against disinformation, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to counter coordinated campaigns, including those based on gender. At the same time, the official reiterated our country’s commitment to protecting fundamental human rights and promoting the equal participation of women in decision-making processes, both at national and international level.
“Gender-based disinformation is a threat to democracy, human rights and social cohesion, and no country can combat it alone. The Republic of Moldova is committed to promoting coordinated actions to face this challenge,” stated Mihai Popșoi.
The event was organized in the context of the International Day of Women in Multilateralism, marked annually on 25 January, established by UNESCO in 2021 to highlight women’s contribution to promoting human rights, peace, and sustainable development within the multilateral system.
