With #AntiCorruption Package we strengthen the EU rules to fight corruption, to:

➡️increase prevention
➡️build a culture of integrity and transparency
➡️harmonize minimum crimes and penalties in 🇪🇺
➡️ensure effective investigation and prosecution

Corruption undermines the trust in democratic institutions and is damaging our societies.

With the new #AntiCorruption Package we want to increase transparency and investigation with prosecution.

Fighting corruption is a part of defending democracy.

Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, or any other day we must support media freedom.

I want to say a big thank you to all the journalists who put their lives on the line to inform us.

Journalists deserve protection with the #MediaFreedomAct.

RT @JenniferMerode: The EU's media freedom act cannot "undo the damage” done in some member states, e.g. Hungary, although hoped it will influence future behaviour.

I agree with @EFJEurope the initial purpose of journalism is public good. And public good needs protection.
 
The #MediaFreedomAct has now a chance to become a testimony of our ambition to protect democratic role of the media in 🇪🇺
 
Thanks for your invitation.

With @IVardakastanis, President of @MyEDF we want to make the right to vote a reality for all persons with disabilities.
@EU_Commission and Member States should continue to work together with civil society organisations on the Guide of good electoral practice.

Thanks for a meeting 🇩🇰Minister of Culture Engel-Schmidt @engelschmidt about #MediaFreedomAct.

Bez nás by EU nebyla kompletní. Už 19 let se vzájemně obohacujeme.

Češi dokázali (nejen) za poslední rok, že jsou v EU spolehlivý a pracovitý partner. A pro nás je EU zárukou stability, bezpečí, demokracie i solidarity.

Být součástí silné Evropy má pro ČR smysl!

Foreign information manipulation and interference including #disinformation is a constantly growing security issue and a key component of 🇷🇺 war against 🇺🇦.

I appreciate professional work of all journalists.
Their working conditions are deteriorating. They face bigger pressure. Despite that they work to bring us news and put them into the context of the world.

I was happy to speak to @enr_newsroom about #MediaFreedomAct.

We must use existing funding more effectively to make real impact and change in lives of #Roma.

We also need more political will and courageous politicians to find new solutions for old problems.

We discussed the ways forward at @ERGO_Network #RomaniWeek2023 Conference.

Thank you @PeterPollak8 for opening the door of the @HistoriaEuropa to #Roma history.

Now, 600 years old replica of the Sigismund Roma protection decree is in its collection.

We must learn more about Roma history to ensure mutual understanding & respect.
