"The fight against freedom of speech, independent media, opposition, and democracy". What is at stake in the "3003 Act"?
The proposed law, known as draft 3003, aims to regulate sanctions in Poland but has sparked significant controversy. Critics argue it undermines democracy and freedom of speech by allowing administrative decisions to confiscate property without judicial oversight. Protests are planned against the law, which is seen as a tool for censorship and repression. Supporters claim it is necessary for national security and to comply with EU directives. The law outlines who can be sanctioned and under what conditions, including actions deemed as foreign interference in information dissemination. Amendments have been made to clarify definitions and protect journalistic activities from being classified as manipulative.
