O lege cu impact major pentru jurnaliști și ONG-uri, aprobată de Senat

The Romanian Senate has approved a law aimed at protecting journalists and activists from abusive legal actions, aligning national legislation with EU directives. This law safeguards fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and assembly, particularly for individuals and organizations involved in public interest mobilization. It defines public mobilization and outlines criteria for identifying abusive legal proceedings, ensuring that such cases are swiftly dismissed and that victims can receive compensation. The legislation aims to prevent the misuse of legal systems to intimidate or silence public discourse.
