The @EUCouncil version of “Daphne’s Law” #AntiSlapps would not have protected Daphne herself from the SLAPPs she was facing. In its usual reflex, the Council protects those in power, not the citizens. The law must be fixed, so as to have real impact.

Re Mir ist es wichtig, die Meinungs- und Informationsfreiheit zu schützen. Freie und kritische Berichterstattung ist Teil jeder funktionierenden Demokratie und somit auch ein Teil der #EU. Diese Schlüsselelemente der Rechtsstaatlichkeit müssen geschützt werden. #AntiSLAPPs

Re For me personally, it is important to protect our European values such as freedom of expression and information. Free and critical reporting is part of every democracy and therefore also part of the #EU. These key elements of the rule of law must be protected. #AntiSLAPPs

The #AntiSLAPPs Directive was adopted by @EP_Legal!
EP rapporteur @woelken:"We want journalists, NGOs &amp; rights defenders to be able to work without being legally intimidated.
Our courts are not playthings for the personal gain of powerful individuals, companies &amp; politicians!" https://t.co/98KdsOPK1j

Very good exchange with Vice President @VeraJourova on the #AntiSlapps Directive. For us it is clear that we need meaningful legislation that helps #SLAPPs targets. We will use this momentum to make a change for better protection against these vexatious lawsuits. 💪

Journalist*innen müssen besser geschützt werden und nicht weniger. Ich bin bereit dafür zu kämpfen. Der Rat muss dringend nachbessern!
RT @TheProgressives: Why does @sweden2023eu want to significantly water down the EU #AntiSLAPPs law that will protect journalists, NGOs and civil society from abusive lawsuits?

We will take every step necessary to give victims the support they need to fight attempts to silence them. #SLAPPs @woelken

At #JHA @EUCouncil:
🙏 @EU2022_CZ for advancing on the #AntiSLAPPs proposal.
In #democracy we need a healthy and pluralistic public debate, including on difficult issues. This debate relies on the public participation by journalists and civil society. No one should be silenced.
