Croatia saw no progress on the #ruleoflaw last year and the media environment worsened.

See key insights on #Croatia from the Liberties' Rule of Law Report 2024 ⬇️

[THREAD] Corrupt politicians & powerful corporations use gag lawsuits (aka #SLAPPs) to intimidate investigative journalists, activists & rights groups into silence. 

@CommissionerHR urges rules to end this abuse in Europe.
@VeraJourova & @dreynders should act on this call.👇🏼/1 @EU_Commission must put forward #EU wide rules to:

👉🏼 allow SLAPPs to be dismissed at an early stage of proceedings

👉🏼make sure that those bringing SLAPPs pay for abusing the law and the courts

[THREAD] The emergency law passed in #Hungary is another step in #Orban’s plan to get rid of #democracy and #RuleofLaw. Here are 5 things the #EU could do to help Hungarians restore their democracy. Tools are there, just not being used.
/1 1 - Use the stick. #Orban’s emergency law violates EU rules in at least two ways, which could allow the @EU_Commission to open infringements and bring #Hungary before the #ECJ.
