| The EESC will hold a hybrid hearing in Brussels on 5 February 2024 from 10.00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the “Defence of Democracy Package”. The European Commission announced the Defence of Democracy Package as a way to promote free and fair elections, to fight disinformation, and to develop civic space and citizen participation. The initiative has raised much interest but also concerns amongst civil society actors fearing that aspects addressing interference from non-EU countries could affect civic space. Participating stakeholders are invited to discuss the content of the package to feed into the related EESC opinion. Your participation and input are most welcome! The draft agenda and the registration form are available on the EESC web site. For any questions related to the event: EESC-Rights-Rule-Law@eesc.europa.eu |
