Let us stand for freedom of speech in Europe
Freedom of speech in Europe is in great danger!
On 9 December 2021, the European Commission proposed to extend the list of EU crimes to hate speech and hate crimes.
If this proposal is accepted, your pro-life and pro-family voice will be shut down in all of the EU, including in the U.S. Sorry, but I must warn you about the upcoming danger: your right to free speech will be violated by the public and private entities.
It's a tactic by the radical left to censor any dissent to their agenda worldwide. By changing the definition of what free speech means, they’ll strike a blow on our freedom to defend our opinions and beliefs… We are on the brink of being unplugged!
The debates are still going on, but the vote is inexorably coming. The next meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs Council will be in Luxembourg on 9 - 10 June 2022. We plan to persuade some delegates of the EU Member States to vote against the new hate speech laws and make them derail… But I need your help NOW!
If the freedom of expression is suppressed, the system of government turns into totalitarian tyranny.
We are increasingly seeing how hate speech laws can be misused for persecuting people of different opinions. Biden administration in the US has announced its intent to establish a Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) to label information it does not like as disinformation. The Finnish pro-gender prosecutor persecuted the Christian politician Päivi Räsänen for her biblical views on marriage, family, and sexuality.
Hate speech laws and practices are seen most commonly on college and high school campuses, for the specific purpose of indoctrinating younger kids who don't have the strongest resilience to evil ideologies.
We must stop it until it is too late!
The new hate speech laws proposed by the Commission to be added to Article 83(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) are very loosely worded and might be arbitrarily misused by some powerful groups e.g. pro-abortion and pro-gender politicians, judges, and activists.
Another problem is that we have no clear definition of what hate speech and hate crimes are.
The radical left wants to have free hands to shut you down and censor the pro-life and pro-family voices! If they get away with this in the EU, they’ll feel entitled to impose the same censorship on the rest of the western countries, including the U.S.
We are mobilizing thousands of citizens around the world to prevent the radical left in the EU from converting you into a criminal… But we have to move fast to convince the delegates since the vote session is expected on 9-10 June.
The situation is difficult, but we have hope.
For the introduction of the new hate speech laws, the delegates of the Justice and Home Affairs Council in Luxembourg must unanimously vote.
It means that if we manage to persuade some delegates of the EU Member States to vote against the new hate speech laws, we can win and defend our freedom of speech.
However, if we fail, it might very easily and quickly happen that we will face judicial trials for our pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Christian opinions presented in public. Then, free Europe will be over.
I hope that this is not what you and I want. Let’s act NOW to avoid it.
Therefore, we need to speak up and defend freedom of speech until it is too late!
Please, sign our petition and stand for freedom of expression in Europe!

Vote for freedom of speech
Honorable delegates of the Justice and Home Affairs Council!
On 9 December 2021, the European Commission proposed to extend the list of EU crimes to hate speech and hate crimes to Article 83(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
The proposal of the European Commission is against Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
Additionally, hate speech and hate crimes are not sufficiently clear concepts and can be easily misused. In fact, the European Commission has failed to give a definition of what it seeks to criminalize as hate speech and for that reason, EU harmonization in the area of hate speech is not possible.
Therefore, we ask you to stand up for freedom of expression and vote against the extension of the list of EU crimes to hate speech and hate crimes.
