Summary/Abstract: Politics has always been an arena of struggle over truth, with authority serving as its foundation, ensuring the legitimacy of power and the social stability necessary for its effective exercise. The contemporary world is transforming these concepts. Truth - traditionally understood as the basis of public debate - is increasingly eroded by populism, post-truth, and disinformation. The development of digital technologies and social media has changed the ways information circulates, making them both a tool of emancipation and manipulation. In this context, a key question becomes: who today holds power over truth?
