That’s the wealth of our EU. Genc was born in Albania, is a Greek citizen who now lives in Cyprus and was one of the 150 randomly selected EU citizens who participated in European Commission citizens’ panel “Tackling Hatred in Society”. And look at our surnames …. #NoPlaceForHate

Thanks to all the 150 🇪🇺citizens who contributed to shape 21 recommendations on tackling hatred in society.

I was honoured to receive them directly from their hands. Lots of food for thought!

Now it's time to work on citizens' ideas, for a Union where there is #NoPlaceForHate

I welcome International IDEA’s call to defend democracy. We cannot take it for granted. Especially in an increasingly authoritarian world.

Democracy must remain at the top of the policy agenda.

Hatred in all its forms has no space in our societies.

Get involved in our Citizens' Engagement Platform and contribute to the debate on how to tackle it ↓
