Project: RECLAIM

• The most prominent narratives put forward on migration and border policy in a number of European parliaments (Italy, Poland, Germany, Austria, European Parliament) have not only become more hostile towards migrants but are increasingly disconnected from facts and evidence-based knowledge.
• By their own account, mainstream politicians have a general awareness of the impact and workings of information manipulation but lack the ability to consistently spot and appropriately respond to arguments build on post-truth tropes.
• Parliaments in cooperation with civil society organisations should offer dedicated training on the mechanisms of post-truth discourse for members of parliaments both in the form of regular in-person seminars and via online modules for self-study.
