TIRANA, July 3 /ATA/ – Socialist MP Erion Braçe presented in Parliament on Thursday a draft law establishing Albania’s national strategy to combat disinformation and foreign interference, describing it as vital to the country’s democratic resilience.
The strategy, developed by the special Parliamentary Commission and a team of experts, calls for the creation of a regulatory authority to oversee implementation and ensure alignment with EU and NATO standards.
Citing growing threats to democratic processes and public trust, the Socialist lawmaker said modern threats – such as foreign influence in elections and public discourse -require coordinated institutional action.
He emphasized Albania’s strategic position and political alignment with the West, saying these make the country a target for hostile influence operations.
Socialist MP described the initiative as part of a broader effort to defend transparency and democratic stability against non-military threats.
“Disinformation is not just propaganda – it is a strategic weapon,” Braçe said, urging national unity in defending transparency and democratic integrity.
