About this publication
Space for civil society is shrinking all over Europe: restrictive laws, administrative barriers and threats make it hard for civil society actors to unlock their potential.
It is essential that the EU commits to reversing these damaging trends during the next five years and opens up more opportunities for civil society to bring people’s voices into policymaking.
Through this Manifesto coordinated by Civil Society for EU, IGLYO and over 170 civil organisations call on the future European Parliament and Commission to adopt an EU-wide Civil Society Strategy and an Agreement on Civil Dialogue.
