Democracy in peril: Commission’s Ethics Group stresses need and ways to deepen democracy in the face of novel risks
Today, the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE), an independent advisory body to the Commission, handed over its Opinion on Democracy in the Digital Age to Commission Vice-President Dubravka Šuica. Requested by President von der Leyen, the Opinion will guide the Commission in its efforts to address challenges to democracy and to foster it.

Vice-President Šuica said:

“The EGE urges us to look beyond elections and reflect on democracy in a deeper way. We should enable and invite people to participate more actively in public deliberation and decision-making. The EGE’s Opinion encourages us all in our efforts to continue working on strengthening Europe’s democracies, in the challenging geopolitical and technological context of today.”
