A group of students from the Masters in International Relations – Peace, Security and Development Studies at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra (FEUC) creates the “Respeech” campaign to combat extremism and hate speech. According to Maria João Medeiros, one of the students involved, the campaign “arises after the diagnosis of the main foci of hate speech in Portugal has been made. The objective is, therefore, to attack the causes of this phenomenon using an approach of proximity with the young population and the deconstruction of ideas that motivate discrimination in Portugal”.
