“Putin aims to destabilize our democracies at their very heart.
The war did not start on February 24, 2022 but long before. The target is not 🇺🇦 but #EUDemocracy.” 🇪🇺

Re @rglucks1 @TheProgressives “We need to promote participatory democracy.
The more people are involved in local democracy, the more democracy works smoothly. We need to make democracy as much as possible inclusive.
As Socialists, we need to be at the forefront of this fight.”

I welcome @EUCouncil's adoption of a General Approach on @EU_Commission's proposal for EU #antiSLAPP Directive.

This is urgently needed to defend targeted threats against #EUdemocracy.

It will provide strong safeguards against SLAPPs in cross-border civil proceedings.

Thank you @EUCouncil for adopting a General Approach on @EU_Commission's proposal for an EU #antiSLAPP Directive.

SLAPP lawsuits are attacks against freedom of expression and information.

They do NOT belong in #EUdemocracy!
