empowering Europeans to exercise their rights, to freely form and express their opinions, and
to have agency and participate in the democratic life of the Union actively and safely. Its actions
will strengthen democratic institutions, protect the integrity of elections and support media
freedom and pluralism, so that our democracies remain strong, open and plural, and built on
citizens’ trust”
