We're putting free press at the centre of our Volt General Assembly in Bratislava. Join us and learn from the people defending it every day. Get your ticket now: volt.link/bratislava2026 💜 (2/2)🧵

The same Free Press advertisement appears on a street advertising panel beneath trees on a sunny day. A purple banner above carries the heading Protect What Matters and explains that, in thousands of cities across all twenty-seven member states, the European Union is running a campaign focused on protecting the free press on our continent.

The Free Press advertisement is shown again on a standing display panel in an open urban plaza. Below it, a purple panel with the heading Protect Free Press explains that freedom of the press holds power accountable, exposes corruption, and lets people make up their own minds, that protecting journalists means protecting democracy, and that across Europe this safety is under growing pressure.

A purple graphic headed Democracy Needs Daylight introduces a Volt General Assembly panel on defending the free press. A billboard shows photographs of the four participants, with their names and roles listed below: moderator Eva Babitzová, Managing Director of Promo Punkers and former journalist; Rasťo Kužel, Executive Director at MEMO 98; Peter Hanák, journalist for Ringier Slovakia and journalism lecturer at Comenius University; and Sophie in 't Veld, Member of the European Parliament from 2004 to 2024.
