Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered by the coronavirus has unequivocally demonstrated that society as well as every individual and citizen needs strong and competent statesmanship on the part of politicians as well as a genuine and objective media presence for 44 reporting on issues related to civil society and democratic processes. The problems that we as a society and citizens have been confronted with and have been forced to address reveal the real trust or mistrust in the civil society fraught with the deep contradictions of the times in which we live. This crisis has unequivocally pointed to the hesitation in our society to accept and respect the objective truth. The crisis has revealed that as a civil society, we still do not thoroughly assess the challenges we face and that we are far from understanding that the way to surmount and cope with difficulties is universal and common to all humankind. All of us as citizens and as a society need new impulses for truthfulness, civic inspiration, dignity, and creativity regardless of the hardships and new crises, both political and economic, and the new challenges that we and the world, in general, will face. It is because we have to increasingly be stronger as a society and as citizens.
