European Citizens' Initiative: Collecting signatures under a lockdown
By Daniela Vancic

While timely and necessary, the measures to halt the spread of COVID-19 have had an enormous impact not only on our daily lives, but also on our democracies. In this series, we try to asses how democratic practice has been affected and how we can make our future democracies more resilient.

Daniela Vancic, European Programme Manager at Democracy International, spoke to Helmut Burtscher-Schaden of the European Citizens' Initiative Save the bees and famers.
