Honouring the memory of Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová: advancing media freedom, strengthening the rule of law, and protecting journalists across the EU (debate)

The murder of Ján Kuciak and his fiancée was tragic and inexcusable. There is no doubt about that. However, I sometimes regret that this murder is still politically abused, often for literally uncharacteristic political campaigns, such as in the case of the Slovak opposition or in the case of a former police director who, under the picture of Martin on a cloud, presented the persecution of inconve…
