Melita Vrsaljko bravely shared her story with us for #PressTalks podcast in #Zagreb a few months ago. Let’s remind that she was assaulted twice for her work: by the attacker & his daughter on the next day, who strangled her at her house. The fight for justice continues.

🌐 Be flexible and cross-cutting
Democracy is the system that underpins EU society. As such, supporting it should cut across sectors and involve a wide range of actors. Given today’s highly volatile political context, all efforts to support democracy need a flexible whole-of-society approach.

🛡️ Fund democracy support
A strong democracy is a security guarantee. Europe is facing increasing security challenges, leading to increased defence spending. Democracy support should be recognised as a contribution to security and stability and should therefore receive proportionate funding.

🤖 Boost EU tech sovereignty
The EU can no longer afford to be dependent on foreign technology and digital services, as this opens it up to blackmail and undue interference. The Shield should support European tech alternatives that are aligned with EU democratic values and standards.

🇪🇺 Cover EU candidate countries
EU and candidate countries are profoundly interlinked, particularly in terms of the information space. The Democracy Shield will be cracked if it does not protect Europe as a whole and enable knowledge exchanges on countering autocracy.

🗣️ Include civil society
Currently, the legitimacy of civil society to participate in policymaking is being undermined. There should be a stronger commitment to ensuring an enabling environment for civil society to operate in and for citizens to mobilise and make their voices heard.
