This 👇. The Shield is a Sham. It does not protect Europe’s democracy from attacks from the inside, ao by Trump’s Trojan Horses and Putin’s Poodles. Meanwhile EU leaders themselves are demolishing vital checks and balances at lightning speed. It is up to all of us to stand up and defend democracy
A Commission official has admitted to Euractiv that President von der Leyen's office "softened" the #DemocracyShield text published today "so as not to upset the US".
Our leaders only want to talk about Russia. When it comes to disinformation, the EU's biggest threat is the one who cannot be named.
