Press point by Raphaël GLUCKSMANN (S&D, FR), elected Chair of the Special Committee on Foreign Interference in all Democratic Processes in the EU (INGE)

SOUNDBITE (English) Raphaël GLUCKSMANN (S&D, FR) Thank you very much. The creation of this special committee is a signal, a very clear signal sent to all foreign powers trying to interfere in the European democratic process. The era of European naivety has come to an end, and we need now to assess the level of threats.

SOUNDBITE (English) Raphaël GLUCKSMANN (S&D, FR) Whether it be disinformation campaign, Highbury, the attacks, funding of political party or political campaign. And then when once we have established this general diagnosis, we need to propose tools to act and protect our democracy.

SOUNDBITE (English) Raphaël GLUCKSMANN (S&D, FR) We don't live in a perfect world. We know Barford. We know perfectly well then that foreign hostile powers are trying to subvert the democratic rules inside the European Union. And he eats our walk no matter what is our group political party affiliation.

SOUNDBITE (English) Raphaël GLUCKSMANN (S&D, FR) It's our duty, our responsibility , if I may, historical responsibility to protect the common framework of our debates, which is our democracy. And this is what the special committee will be doing for the next year. Thank you.
