One of the most important things over the next months and years will be how we share information and, even more importantly, how we react to what happens around us: And I want to be very clear with all my friends, journalists and people who follow me: we need to be extremely careful, because information itself is part of the battlefield. Europe is facing more hybrid threats, from sabotage and cyberattacks to disinformation and attempts to create fear and division. Not every operation needs to cause massive physical damage. Creating uncertainty, making people angry, or simply making them lose trust in their institutions and in each other already achieve an effect. This is why the way we report an incident matters. If something suspicious happens, report it. But distinguish between what we know, what we suspect, what someone claims and what investigators have actually established. Because if we immediately turn every allegation into a fact, amplify every rumour and push the most dramatic explanation, we can unintentionally create the reaction that someone wanted in the first place. And this applies to everyone: journalists, media, analysts, politicians and people like me who share information online. And if you support a cause, support it in the right way. Don't help it by spreading something simply because it makes your side look good. Help it by being accurate, checking sources, correcting mistakes and being honest when something is still unknown. Because when you constantly push information that people later discover was exaggerated, misleading or simply wrong, you don't just lose credibility. You push people away. And when people stop trusting the information coming from sources they once followed, they start looking somewhere else. They may turn to unreliable accounts, misinformation or conspiracy theories simply because those sources offer them an explanation they feel they can trust. That's exactly the kind of environment where division becomes easier to exploit. Supporting a country or a cause doesn't mean switching off critical thinking. Being first may get attention. Being accurate builds trust. And I believe that trust will be one of the most important things Europe needs in the years ahead. And this doesn't only apply to journalists, analysts or people who post about politics and security. It applies to everyone, including those who simply follow me or talk about everyday life. You can make a difference too. Help the people around you understand how to check information. Show them how to find the original source, compare different reports and recognise the difference between an opinion, an allegation and a confirmed fact. You might be the next person who informs someone else. You might be the person who helps someone stop before sharing something false. You can be a positive part of the community around you. I’m just one small piece of this, but all of you together can be much bigger.
