  abstract     = {{SLAPPs have no place in a democratic society under the rule of law: in the words of the ECtHR such court proceedings instituted with a view to limiting public participation bring a risk for democracy. More than ever there is an urgent need for adequate domestic safeguards against SLAPPs by way of a broad and timely transposition of the EU anti-SLAPP Directive. The article highlights the most important characteristics of a law proposal transposing the EU anti-SLAPP Directive 2024/1069 into Belgian law. The model law of the Belgian anti-SLAPP WG and the law proposal to combat abuse of procedure against public participation are published on the website of the Belgian anti-SLAPP working group https://www/slapp.be/en/proposals}},
