The ETUC is gravely concerned with the extraordinary growth in the number of wars and violent conflicts and with the current state of peace and security in Europe and the world. The EU must prioritise the use of the wide range of diplomatic, trade and conflict resolution tools at its disposal. We call for a redoubling of efforts for peace.

On World Press Freedom Day, the ETUC and the EFJ stand in solidarity with journalists and media workers everywhere and reaffirm our commitment to defending press freedom across Europe.
