A new era calls for a new strategy.
#DefendDemocracy Board & Director meet to discuss the future of #democracy.
Where else than in #Brussels, the heart of #EUrope, leader of the Free World? 🇪🇺💫
(But how long can the EU hold the line if we obey the US in advance & don’t invest in democratic security?)
The most amazing place to discuss 'Security, Safety and Resilience':
Białowieża Forest, which during WW2 was a refuge for Polish and Soviet partisans (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
@DefendDemocracy spoke about 'Security and new technologies: facing AI and disinformation'.
Honoured to visit EU Commission HQ for an exchange with EU Commissioner Michael McGrath to provide input for the European Democracy Shield.
One of #DefendDemocracy's recommendations: align EU's #MFF budget with the recently agreed 1.5% #NATO defence spending to invest in values-based #tech sovereignty & societal #resilience to hybrid warfare.
Thrilled to announce a bold ally of @DefendDemocracy!
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs @glandsbergis
joins our Advisory Board.
"Freedom runs in my family. The survival of our freedoms relies on strong defence of our values & borders."

Last but not least, our founder @AliceStollmeyer connected the dots between the European #DemocracyShield and the #EUpreparedness Union:

Thank you @fnfeurope and @boell_eu !
Stay tuned for more events under @DefendDemocracy's 'Coalition for Democratic Resilience' program!
Great to have a rich exchange between representatives of EU, NATO, countries and NGOs on how to build preparedness and resilience against hybrid threats.
This is exactly what the 'Coalition for Democratic Resilience' is for: we can learn from each other!
