SOUNDBITE (French), Jaume DUCH GUILLOT, Directeur-General of DG COMM du PE, You are home here, and this is not a tourist tour advertising. The European Parliament is truly your home, welcoming here your representatives, being the echo of your hopes, of your requests or your fuming.

SOUNDBITE (French), Jaume DUCH GUILLOT, Directeur-General of DG COMM du PE, About the importance of the European elections: Often we neglect the great power of those in this assembly. Often the aim of the European elections is not understand. EU is a collective European project, based on the citizens&rsquo; implications and on the work of the citizens&rsquo; representatives in this assembly. It&rsquo;s you that will decide those who will come here, it&rsquo;s you that will decide which political wing will be in majority in this assembly. Closing the welcoming by thanking the public in several languages.

SOUNDBITE (French), Christophe DELOIRE, Secretary General of Reporters without borders, The journalism is economically weakened in the last years also in the North democracies, notably due to competition disruptions  on internet collecting the advertising, with platforms that are getting the main advertising assets. This is an important economic stake as is having consequences on media survival. It is weakened by political representatives, including in EU democracies, because they are insulting the journalists and are trying to delegitimize them. Journalists are weakened by the violence, even extreme violence, up to the point of assassination of journalists, as we had the case in Malta and Slovakia.
