Protection against SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation)
This procedure aims to protect individuals and organisations involved in public participation from SLAPPs. These are lawsuits intended to intimidate or silence critics, often by using legal processes to drain their resources and discourage their engagement in public debate.
It affects journalists, activists, NGOs, and anyone speaking out on matters of public interest. The goal is to ensure that public participation and freedom of expression are not stifled by unfounded legal actions across the EU.
