  3. Last week we celebrated International #DemocracyDay!

    #DefendDemocracy brought together inspiring voices for an informal exchange on the future of our #democracy.

    Special thanks to @EUCommission guest speaker Simona Constantin for adding real depth to the discussion, to King Baudouin Foundation for support, to BELvue museum for hosting us, and to An Lavens for the warm welcome.

  4. Lately there’s been a lot of discussion about chat control. Here’s what I believe: it doesn’t matter who is in power—every government will want to control and preserve its authority, even in a democratic country. Labels like “right-wing extremist” or “left-wing extremist” can easily be applied, and people can be prosecuted if it serves the purpose.

  5. Celebrating International #democracyday , by calling for a fair system where every vote counts to replace the democracy-lite #FPTP system which delivers results with little connection to what voters want. Lets change to Proportional Representation where all votes matter. #prnow #democracy

  6. @EUCommission It‘s a pity to see politics undermined by rightwing disinfomants, surveillance laws on the rise, national governments (e.g. Germany) openly defying European Law while at the same time sabotaging Citizen participation and the according organisations.
    #DemocracyDay is nice. Acting Democracies defending their values and living up to the idea of that day, all the time, would be better. Alas, it‘s currently only wishful thinking, the money flows differently.

  7. 🗳️ Today is #DemocracyDay.

    Built on voting, speaking up, and staying informed.

    We’re not just celebrating it.
    Together, we’re nurturing it every day.

    Democracy, fundamental rights, and the rule of law are the backbone of our European Union.

    ️We are supporting free media, fair elections, freedom of speech, and citizens’ access to reliable information.

    Because in a strong democracy, accountability matters and every voice counts. 💬

  8. #Britain's #democracy is in crisis

    Our First Past the Post #voting system increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants.

    This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for a fair system where every vote counts.

    It's time for Proportional Representation. #PRnow

  10. NEW: As the climate crisis worsens extreme weather events, the rights of voters in disaster-prone regions become threatened. The stakes can't be higher in key battleground Georgia, which saw twice as many severe storms in 2023 than any other recorded year. 🍑

  11. Yesterday was International #DemocracyDay. So let’s check in on the development and state of democracy worldwide.

    The world has become much more democratic over the last centuries. But some of this progress has recently been reversed.

    A thread with some key charts:
