Spremljaj_spreminjaj EU je bila zagovorniška in ozaveščevalna akcija Pravnega centra za varstvo človekovih pravic in okolja (PIC), izvedena v času pred volitvami v Evropski parlament leta 2024. Namen projekta je bil spremljati in preverjati izjave kandidatov za evropske volitve na področjih temeljnih človekovih pravic, azila in migracij, vladavine prava ter demokracije.

V okviru akcije smo izvajali preverjanje resničnosti izjav (fact-checking), izpostavljali neresnične ali zavajajoče informacije ter jih skupaj s preverjenimi dejstvi objavljali na spletni strani in družbenih omrežjih PIC ter prek oglasnih pasic v osrednjih spletnih medijih. Ob tem smo kandidate tudi neposredno opozarjali na sporne izjave in javnost ozaveščali o vrednotah, na katerih temelji Evropska unija, zlasti na podlagi Listine EU o temeljnih pravicah. Cilj akcije je bil prispevati k bolj informirani volilni odločitvi, zmanjševanju dezinformacij ter krepitvi demokratične razprave in evropskih vrednot.

Kaj smo dosegli

• Analizirali in javno izpostavili smo 25 spornih izjav kandidatov za evropske poslance (21 med kampanjo in 4 po finalnem soočenju na RTV Slovenija), ki so bile napačne, zavajajoče ali zlonamerne.
• Objave o spornih izjavah in projektu so na družbenih omrežjih dosegle 121.570 ljudi, projektna spletna stran pa je zabeležila 12.578 klikov.
• Prek oglasnih pasic na spletnih medijih N1 Slovenija, Siol in 24ur.com so se vsebine projekta prikazale 713.088-krat.
• Kandidate za evropske poslance smo neposredno obvestili o 10 zavajajočih ali napačnih izjavah, ki so jih podali v času kampanje.
• Pripravili smo 20 objav v katerih smo ozaveščali o temeljnih človekovih pravicah, evropskih vrednotah, pomenu verodostojnih informacij in evropskih volitev, ki so dosegle več tisoč uporabnikov.
• Projekt je prispeval k boljši informiranosti volivcev, večjemu razumevanju človekovih pravic, migracijskih politik in vladavine prava ter k večji odpornosti javnosti proti dezinformacijam v času evropskih volitev.

Spremljaj_spreminjaj EU) was an advocacy and awareness-raising campaign implemented by the Legal Centre for the Protection of Human Rights and the Environment (PIC) in the period leading up to the 2024 European Parliament elections. The project aimed to monitor and fact-check statements made by candidates running for the European Parliament in the areas of fundamental human rights, asylum and migration, the rule of law, and democracy.

As part of the campaign, we conducted systematic fact-checking, highlighted false or misleading statements, and published verified information through the PIC website and social media channels, as well as via banner advertisements in major online media outlets. Candidates were also directly informed about problematic statements, while the broader public was educated about the values on which the European Union is founded, with particular reference to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The campaign sought to contribute to more informed voting decisions, counter disinformation, and strengthen democratic debate and European values.

What we achieved

• We analysed and publicly highlighted 25 problematic statements made by candidates for the European Parliament (21 during the campaign and 4 after the final debate on RTV Slovenia) that were false, misleading, or malicious.
• Posts about the problematic statements and the project reached 121,570 people on social media, while the project website recorded 12,578 clicks.
• Project content was displayed 713,088 times through banner advertisements on the online media outlets N1 Slovenia, Siol, and 24ur.com.
• We directly informed candidates for the European Parliament about 10 misleading or incorrect statements they made during the campaign.
• We produced 20 awareness-raising posts on fundamental human rights, European values, the importance of reliable information, and European elections, reaching several thousand users.
• The project contributed to better-informed voters, a greater understanding of human rights, migration policies, and the rule of law, and increased public resilience to disinformation during the European elections.
