I am deeply shocked and appalled by the brutal attack on Slovakia's Prime Minister, Robert Fico, following the government's meeting in the town of Handlova. I condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. Violence is unacceptable and has no place in the EU. An attack on an elected politician is an attack on our democratic values.

The EESC is deeply concerned about the reintroduction of the law on "Transparency of Foreign Influence" in Georgia. This initiative targets in a discriminatory manner civil society organisations (CSOs), including employers' associations, trade unions and media. Hundreds of thousands are taking to the streets to protest against this law which they see as a means to silence NGOs and independent media.
