I am very happy that we voted today,
-
something that I played an important role in,
-
the freedom of the Press.
-
A regulation mandatory for all member states.
-
We are setting rules.
-
We are forbidding censorship and
-
we are placing rules for the
-
Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs),
-
like Facebook and Google,
-
who do whatever they want.
-
Transparency in the media.
-
And we managed to prohibit surveillance
-
of journalists, under the excuse of
-
national security.
-
Because many governments,
-
including the Greek one,
-
wanted these exemptions to exist,
-
and we all know where that got us.
-
It is a regulation for Democracy,
-
that allows citizens to learn what really
-
happens in their country,
-
because often they have no clue.
