  • Open Borders for Outrage

    Open Borders for Outrage
    Jul 21 2025

    Migration touches on deeply emotional, symbolic, and identity-driven issues. That makes it uniquely vulnerable to post-truth tactics, where fear and misperception override facts and evidence. This episode of Post-Truth Be Told unpacks how disinformation hijacks the migration debate—and who gains from it.

    Guests: Viviana Ougou, Member of the Spanish Parliament and Olha Menko, President of the Management Board of the Poland-Ukraine Institute Foundation
