‼️ @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 ⬇️

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, #MediaFreedomAct & anti- #SLAPP Directive. 🇪🇺 States should implement asap. #WorldPressFreedomDay

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.
