Oliver Röpke @EESC_President@respublicae.eu

To ensure democracy, fundamental rights and the rule of law, #CivilSociety is key.

That is why during my term of office, I will support flat out EU #strong and #resilient Civil Societies and I will fully endorse a robust mandate for our fundamental rights and rule of law group.

🗣️ Insightful conversation with EESC Group Presidents. We agree that #CivilSociety is the backbone of #democracy and a catalyst for democratisation processes.

That is why we must collaborate to ensure #social and #economic dimensions of the EU are put on ⚖️ equal footing.

From the speeches of present and future precidencies, one thing is clear: strategic decisions are needed to achieve our common goals.

We must work together towards #SDGs and the #EUGreenDeal, to strengthen our resilience and reach open strategic autonomy in a rules-based world.
