„Civic Space is under threat not only by the EU‘s ‚usual suspects’. We observe this trend in almost all member states, & we need to provide NGOs everywhere with legal protection.“ @enablingNGOlaw‘s Francesca Fannuci at our civil society session at @GreensEFA #EuropeanIdeasLab

„Activists & NGOs, especially those working on migration, are prosecuted and criminalised. Not only in countries that have a complete break-down of #RuleofLaw. We lack a strong EU answer to protect those organisations.“ @Tineke_Strik #EuropeanIdeasLab @GreensEFA

To defend civil society, we need to make funding for NGOs more flexible. We need to give civil society a seat at the table for new legislative initiatives. And we need an alarm mechanism for attacks on civic space. @EUCivicForum‘s Filip Pazderski at #EuropeanIdeasLab @GreensEFA

„We are at a deadlock in #Poland.Our civil society is under attack.On the streets & by the government. We need to unify civil movements to defend democracy for future generations. We can change things,but we need to stand together!“ @strajkkobiet‘s Magda Gorecka #EuropeanIdeasLab
