‼️
@EU_Commission
intends to close Art. 7 concerning
#Poland
.
I welcome the trend of positive changes. While work needs to continue, the risk of a serious breach of
#RuleOfLaw
is no longer here.
👉
‼️
#MediaFreedomAct
enters into force
For the first time ever, the 🇪🇺 has a law to protect media freedom.
We recognise that journalists play an essential role for
#democracy
& should be protected.
I call on Member States to implement the new rules as soon as possible.
I discussed with
@globalfreemedia
what the European Commission has achieved over the past years to increase the protection of journalists, thanks to the strong support of civil society. Still many challenges ahead.
Have a look ⬇️
‼️ The new Anti-
#SLAPP
rules enter into force today.
They will protect critical voices and freedom of speech.
Journalists & those acting in public interest should not be silenced, threatened or intimidated.

Today we pay tribute to all journalists who inform us, sometimes at the risk of their lives.
It’s the duty of democracies to protect them.
We passed unprecedented laws,

W/ 🇬🇪 MFA
@iliadarch
we also discussed the foreign agents law in
#Georgia
.
On foreign funding, the right approach is to focus on
#transparency
. 🇬🇪 should take inspiration from 🇪🇺
Focusing on sanctioning/labelling /restricting actors' operation is in contradiction w/ EU approach.
#RuleOfLaw
principle is the basic pillar of the European architecture, also in the context of
#enlargement
.
Today, discussing it in the informal
#GAC
in Brussels with the ministers of all current and future 🇪🇺 Member States.

Czechia 🇨🇿 + EU 🇪🇺 = 20 years!
'For me as a mum, it's very important to know that my children are able grow up in a free country and that they’re able to speak their minds.'
This is Kateřina's take on the 20th anniversary of Czechia joining the EU 👇
#20YearsTogether
I came to
#Slovakia
to listen, exchange & help.
I met with 🇸🇰 PM Fico, Defence Minister Kaliňák and Deputy PM Kmec to discuss the
#RuleOfLaw
and what needs to be done to secure
#RRF
money. We discussed NGO law and
#media
as well.
Public media have a big responsibility, need to be independent & strong in all Member States.
I met w/ 🇸🇰 Minister of Culture Šimkovičová, to discuss increasing concerns about
#MediaFreedom
& safety of journalists in
#Slovakia
.
I stressed the need to respect
#MediaFreedomAct
.
