Alexandra Geese, Member of the European Parliament, Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, delivered remarks at the FURIC2025 conference on 23 September 2025 in the European Parliament.

In times of increasing digital interference and authoritarian influence on elections worldwide, FURIC 2025 examines how societies can safeguard transparency, accountability, and public trust in elections – the cornerstone of inclusive and informed democratic participation.

Building on recommendations from its previous editions, the conference will emphasize stronger synergies among all stakeholders to address challenges such as disinformation, transparency of digital campaigning, social media algorithms, foreign interference, and hybrid threats.

The FURIC 2025 Conference "Technologies for Trust: Innovating for Election Integrity in a Changing Global Order", held 23–24 September 2025 in Brussels, is hosted by the European Platform for Democratic Elections (EPDE) in cooperation with the European Parliament’s Democracy Support and Election Coordination Group (DEG), the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), and supported by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany and the German Marshall Fund (GMF).
