Started my visit of Sweden, which will take over Council Presidency after @EU2022_CZ.

W/ Minister of #Justice Gunnar Strömmer, we discussed the priorities of 🇸🇪 Presidency relevant for my work, such as #RuleOfLaw, #EPPO, digitalisation of #justice & fighting organised crime.

With Archbishop Zvolensky I discussed social cohesion, tolerance and rising hate crimes.
More than ever we need to communicate clearly against discrimination and violence against minorities.

Many topics for discussion with 🇸🇰 #justice Minister Viliam Karas, including
🔹judiciary reform and #RuleOfLaw recommendations
🔹 protection of minorities incl. LGBTI 
🔹supporting victims of crime 
🔹 hate crime & hate speech as 'Eurocrimes'

Very useful discussion with 🇸🇰 PM @eduardheger on polarisation, #equality and rising hatred against minorities, as well as measures to address online #disinformation also in the context of the Russian war against Ukraine.

Grateful to discuss with editors in chief of the main Slovak media.
The brutal murder of Ján Kuciak and his fiancée has guided my work on the Recommendation of safety of journalists, #StopSLAPPs and #MediaFreedomAct including safeguarding the role of public service media.

We discussed w/🇸🇰 Minister of Interior Roman Mikulec. Authorities need to have capacities to prevent & address radicalisation, violence often aimed at LGBTIQ+ and other minority groups. #CodeOfPractice and #DSA are important tools in stepping up the fight against #disinformation.

In the 🇪🇺 people should be safe and free to be themselves. 

Our strength comes from our unity in diversity.

Starting my visit to Slovakia discussing with representatives of 🇸🇰 LGBTIQ+ community.
We must take a clear stand against discrimination and violence. The EU is committed to fighting hatred, both offline and online. We must all ensure everyone’s safety and rights.

Honoured to be at the Terezín Declaration Conference.

We must translate the lessons from horrors of the Holocaust into the modern world.

Holocaust remembrance is more important than ever. We must continue our commitment to EU Strategy on combating anti-Semitism.

I believe we can shape the answer to the Future of the Internet.
Europe is ready to play its part. We have a vision of an Internet that is free, open, global, interoperable, reliable, secure & inclusive. A vision that is shared across the globe by likeminded partners.

Journalists in 🇺🇦 are our eyes and ears under 🇷🇺 bombs. Several of them were killed or injured. These crimes should be punished, justice should be served.

Accountable governments and democratic institutions are crucial for the EU’s accession process, but most of all they ensure benefits for the citizens. #BSC2022

With @susanneraab_at we discussed gender #equality and our common action against #ViolenceAgainstWomen.
With a war on our continent, we have to be strong and bold in defending our values. This includes media freedom and pluralism through the #MediaFreedomAct.

Thank you, @sandrogozi for a good discussion on the progress on the political advertising regulation in the @europarl_en.
