Afgelopen zondag zag het Malieveld en omgeving helemaal rood. Nederland bekent kleur. Nu het demissionair kabinet nog. #RodeLijn

That is why @freepressunlimited.org fights every day to support #journalists, strengthen independent media, and push back against #disinformation.
Today, I ask you to join us. Because when truth loses, we all lose. 4/5
When real #journalism is drowned out by lies and half truths, accountability disappears. Human rights are threatened. #Democracy weakens.
Access to reliable, independent information is a human right - not a privilege. 3/5
Fake news spreads faster than ever, eroding trust in the truth itself. It blurs the line between fact and fiction, making it harder for people to make informed decisions about their lives, their communities, their futures. 2/5
Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, I am reminded of why our fight is so urgent. A free press is the cornerstone of every #democracy - but right now, it is under attack not just by censorship and violence, but by something even more insidious: #disinformation. 1/5
🚨 Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay! #Disinformation is currently one of the greatest enemies to our society. Only with access to reliable information can people establish informed opinions and make informed decisions. #Pressfreedom is the cornerstone of #democracy!

🚨 As #pressfreedom reaches a global low, it is not just physical attacks on #journalists and political hostility that threatens the free press; increasing economic pressures also pose a creeping but destructive threat to independent journalism.

We must protect journalists, support independent media, and ensure access to reliable information for everyone.
The urgency is now. As we approach #WorldPressFreedomDay on May 3rd, let’s stand together. Let's make it clear that #pressfreedom is not negotiable. 4/5
Without a free press, injustice thrives, corruption goes unchecked and human rights abuses are hidden from view. At @freepressunlimited.org, we are fighting harder than ever. But we can't do it alone. We need a global effort to defend those who dare to speak truth to power. 3/5
#Journalists are being silenced, harassed, even killed - simply for doing their job: telling the truth. This is not a problem happening "somewhere else." This is a crisis for all of us. 2/5
Every day, I see how vital independent #journalism is - and every day, I see how much it is under threat. The numbers don't lie: more than 50% of the world's population now lives in countries where freedom of the press is severely restricted. 1/5
