In April 2024, the EU Anti-SLAPP Directive came into force, which is simply a consequence to the phenomenon of journalists, activists or scientists being sued for criticizing influential people or publicizing abuses of power. associate States, including Poland, presently have 2 years to implement it into their legal systems. However, implementing the directive into Polish law alone is not enough. We, journalists, publishers, representatives of non-governmental organizations, activist groups, academia and science, emphasize that in order to effectively address the problem of SLAPPs, a thorough revision of Polish law and the adoption of ambitious solutions that go beyond the minimum guidelines of the Directive are needed.
