RT @vonderleyen: My thoughts are with the families of the victims of the shooting in Bratislava.

These abhorrent murders are a threat to our societies built on respect and tolerance.

The EU is committed to helping fight hate crime and speech in all form.

We must protect the LGBTIQ community.

Thank you @MichealMartinTD for 🇮🇪's unwavering support to all EU actions in 🇺🇦, and for the fruitful discussion on Rule of Law. The reform of the composition of the Judicial Appointment Commission should provide for a clear majority of judges chosen by their peers.

My deepest sympathies to Prime Minister of Ireland @MichealMartinTD following the disaster in Donegal.

Honoured to be received by @OireachtasNews’ Committees on #justice and EU Affairs.
🇷🇺’s unprovoked aggression against 🇺🇦 puts our shared values, such as the #RuleOfLaw, #democracy, freedom of speech and free elections in the centre of our common attention. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Pleasure to meet the representatives of Irish civil society. I appreciate their participation in our annual #RuleOfLaw report.
@EU_Commission recommended 🇮🇪 to take measures to address legal obstacles related to access to funding for civil society organisations.

I was grateful to see the work of @Ireland_EDMO task-force on 🇺🇦; also thankful for their input to #CodeOfPractice on #Disinformation.
By providing the public with reliable information, we fight against the manipulation of the democratic debate.

Good meeting with @smcs.
Fruitful discussion with @Twitter on how to act on #CodeOfPractice on #Disinformation and to take steps to curb the spread of 🇷🇺 war propaganda and harmful disinformation, including closing of accounts, demotion and cooperation with fact-checkers.

I received from @DPCIreland's Helen Dixon information on recent progress in the enforcement actions including substantial fines on big #tech multinational companies.

Useful to discuss with her #GDPR implementation and also get her views on political ads.

W/ @cathmartingreen we discussed #MediaFreedomAct that will have a major impact on two core EU values: the internal media market as well as the #RuleOfLaw and #democracy.

EU citizens need to be able to trust the information they receive & have access to a plurality of views.

Energizing to discuss w/ a group of journalism students from @DCU University. 🇮🇪
Your future work together w/ media freedom and pluralism are essential to our democracies as it is in 🇺🇦.
I explained what #MediaFreedomAct brings to journalists: protection & editorial independence.

RT @JosepBorrellF: Deeply shocked by Russia’s attacks on civilians in #Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine.

Such acts have no place in 21st century. I condemn them in the strongest possible terms.

We stand with Ukraine. Additional military support from the EU is on its way.

I welcome the Executive Order on the 🇪🇺🇺🇸data privacy framework signed by @POTUS.
The Order has clear safeguards limiting US intelligence access to personal data of Europeans & sets up a new Data Protection Review Court.
This is good news for Europeans and businesses.

Congratulation to the #NobelPeacePrize2022 laureates who represent civil society in their home countries: 🇧🇾 , 🇷🇺 and 🇺🇦 . They have for many years promoted the right to criticise power and protect the #FundamentalRights of citizens. Civil society is crucial for #democracy.
