Attacks on NGOs in the European Parliament 570+ Organisations Join Forces to Defend Civil Society

European civil society organisations are currently facing an attack coming from certain Members of the European Parliament. Spearheaded by some MEPs from the European People’s Party and by far-right groups, this attack resorts to misleading arguments on the misuse of funding by NGOs to fabricate a scandal. This harmful narrative is not only false, but risks impacting citizens’ ability to contribute to issues that affect them.

This is why CONCORD has joined over 570 civil society organisations from across the EU calling on MEPs to address these unprecedented attacks on NGOs and ensure that civil society is adequately funded and enabled to share crucial perspectives.
