Hello Democracy, Goodbye ACTA
Channel: GreensEFA
Date: 05/07/2012

After many years of campaigning by the Greens, the ACTA agreement was finally rejected by the European Parliament.
 
The last few months have seen heavy lobbying by pro-ACTA forces come head to head with grass roots anger at the agreement as more and more information on it became public.

Today was a victory for the Citizens of Europe who contacted their MEPs, signed the petitions and marched in the streets.

The Greens/EFA group will continue keep a close eye on developments, keep citizens informed and fight for internet freedom and digital rights.
