Democracy is at the heart of Europe.

But democracy needs care, especially when 70% of Europeans fear foreign interference in elections.

Today we present the European Democracy Shield and the EU Strategy for Civil Society.

Together, they'll make our democracies stronger, support independent media, and empower people and civil society to play an active role in shaping Europe’s future.

Because empowered, engaged, and informed people are the heart of our democracy💪

how many Europeans want to have a #chatcontrol spying on their phones, stealthily checking their conversations, exfiltrating their photos?

@muminpappa yes, I would like to know also!

I would think that indescriminate surveillance without suspecting a crime would go against article 12 of the UN charter of human rights

Would you not agree?


Universal Declaration of Human Rights | United Nations

A milestone document in the history of human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. It has been translated into over 500 languages.
