Abstract(s)
Communication has always proved to be an important weapon against misinformation and perceived inertia. Nowadays, the role of communication has taken on a new meaning when we consider its importance in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic that we have been facing for the last year and a half.
On the other hand, this importance is leveraged when we talk about European institutions that have the decision-making power about the policies adopted in the member states and the funds they have available to fight this monumental adversity.
It is the aim of this work to understand and analyze the way in which Portuguese MEPs have communicated with their Portuguese constituents in order to combat the misinformation felt at a complicated time when it is imperative that there is widespread knowledge of the policies that will be adopted and how they deal with the situation being experienced.
Thus, we will analyze their action since March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic started in Europe, until August of the same year, the end of the first big wave.
