Happy to engage w/ the organisers of the European citizens’ initiative "Save bees and farmers."
The issue of producing enough food while protecting the environment and biodiversity attracts rightly public attention.
Good to see #ECI in action; a truly democratic tool.

We stand ready to assist Hungary and assess the work on the remedial measures from their side.
We also discussed the steps by the Hungarian government on the milestones related to judiciary.

We had a frank discussion with @JuditVarga_EU, Minister of #Justice of Hungary.
On the conditionality mechanism, we aim to achieve the ultimate objective that the 🇪🇺 budget is no longer at risk; this needs to be achieved through the adequate reforms and changes in practice in 🇭🇺.

Public service media play a special role in democracies, even more in times of crises. We discussed with @CillaBenko how the #MediaFreedomAct can guarantee the independence of public service media across EU. The law would act as a safety net in case of threats at national level.

Pleased to discuss with CEO of leading media group Schibsted, Ms Kristin Skogen Lund.

Thank you for your constructive role and European vision. The #MediaFreedomAct will help strengthen the media sector across the whole EU.

Thank you, Ms Parisa Liljestrand, Minister of Culture of Sweden, for the ambition and the work on the #MediaFreedomAct during the #EU2023SE.
Glad to see that Sweden has a leadership role on media freedom and looking forward to continuing cooperation!

@KarinSjva @sweden2023eu @EC_StockholmRep @cdeloire @CillaBenko The fight against #disinformation and the protection of media freedom are two sides of the same coin.

We have to reduce the space for disinformation/foreign interference, while increasing the space for information and those providing information.

Discussing #mediafreedom and #democracy in Stockholm.
Sweden, with its long-standing democratic history, has a unique authority to lead this debate #EU2023SE.

Russia’s war against Ukraine shows we need to act strongly to protect our values and put order in our information space.

My take on censorship vs freedom of speech at #WEF23:
#AI is especially useful to detect other #AI production (bots). We must protect the freedom of speech of real persons not robots producing #disinfomation.
Let’s take good old legal traditions ➡️ apply them to online space.

Právě jsem se vrátila z Davosu, ze Světového ekonomického fóra #WEF23.
Diskutovala jsem o:
🔹bezpečnostních rizikách informační války a jak postupovat proti ruské propagandě
🔹jakým způsobem zajistit technologie, hlavně #AI, aby nám neohrožovaly budoucnost.

Vivid talks, tough questions at #wef23 in Davos. Happy to meet and discuss with many journalists who work here around the clock to report the news. Thank you.

Thank you, minister @glandsbergis for an important discussion on how to continue to support Ukraine and for your leadership on this front.

We also talked about ideas on how to support pro-democracy Russian-language media, and bloggers active also on social media. #wef23

AI is already here. We need to ensure that AI will be developed with ethical and democratic standards in mind. Tech has to serve the people. #AIAct

Thank you for inspiring discussion Kent Walker @Google, @demishassabis of @DeepMind and @gilliantett. #wef23

Thank you for a meeting, dear Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya. The EU is and remains committed to promoting freedom and democracy. You have my support in your fight. #wef23

👏I welcome the vote of the @europarl_en: European Public Prosecutor’s Office will now be able to ask Parliament to lift sitting MEPs’ legal immunity.
The mission of #EPPO to investigate, prosecute & bring to judgment crimes against the financial interests of the EU is key.

It was a pleasure to meet Ralf Heck of @BStBrussels to discuss promotion of civic engagement and participation. Democracy requires engaged and informed citizens. #wef23

Always a pleasure to exchange ideas with Brad Smith of @Microsoft. We agreed more needs to be done to detect, expose and disrupt disinformation coming from Russia and other hostile actors. Anti-disinfo Code will help to get better understanding of what tech biz is doing. #wef23

Řešíme demografické výzvy, které vedou rozvoj talentu do pasti a způsobují odliv pracovní síly a mladých lidí z některých regionů. V 🇨🇿 je to hlavně Severozápad a Moravskoslezsko.
Nabízíme nástroje jak školit, přilákat a udržet talenty a podněcovat inovace a příležitosti. 👇
