My testimony at the @GreensEFA's #ShrinkingSpaces: as a sociologist, I had to leave my dream job in an NGO & enter politics as gvt attacks prevented us from doing real work. I joined @momentumhu to bring change in 🇭🇺. Because we see it every day back home:
#Hungary ≠ #Fidesz
#Hungary ≠ #Fidesz
And while civic space is being shrunk in Hungary, it still exists! Therefore, we have to work closer together with civil society & fight for a proudly open and optimistic 🇭🇺 at the heart of Europe!
Crucial concl. by @GDelbosCorfield on the need to take all issues together to show the systemic nature of the degradation of rule of law, democracy & rights + cooperate w/ all actors & institutions at EU level.
Agreed! It's key that we work across institutions & political grps!

Very honored to be invited to talk about civic space in Hungary at the @GreensEFA event #ShrinkingSpaces! Looking forward to interesting accounts from a number of EU countries!
Because of governmental smear campaigns, school teachers cancelled #HumanRights education progs or local grps refused to work with us out of fear it could harm their relations w/ local gvt - @divadgi from @AmnestyHungary on the chilling effects of gvt propaganda on civic space.
Szymon Ananicz from @BatoryFundacja emphasizes importance of direct #EU funding to grassroots orgs defending democracy in Europe and calls on @EUCouncil and Member States to accept @Europarl_EN proposal to triple the budget of the #Rights & #Values fund. #MFF #ShrinkingSpaces
