SLAPPs impact all those who work to hold the powerful to account, with environmental activists among those most exposed to oppressive legal tactics.

The focus will be on cross-border cases, but the EU law is also expected to spark national measures against SLAPPs.<\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace and other environmental organisations have long been the target of SLAPPs and have been calling for an EU anti-SLAPP law as part of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-case.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CASE coalition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2022, Greenpeace Spain and other groups were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariodenavarra.es\/noticias\/navarra\/2022\/03\/21\/greenpeace-critica-macrogranja-valle-odieta-utiliza-demandas-judiciales-mordaza-521452-300.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued for defamation by agribusiness Valle de Odieta<\/a>, after exposing water and soil pollution from a giant industrial cow farm owned by the company in northern Spain.
