In our view there is no better way to launch The European Trust Alliance, than by inviting Eliot Higgins to share with us his thoughts on European polarization and political destabilization from mass misinformation. Eliot – founder of Bellingcat – has been a frontrunner for years to make sure people have acces to verified information, and he is known to be a very eloquent speaker.
