European Parliament supports the setting up of an EU centre for democratic resilience. This centre should include existing cooperation systems and crisis management capacity, and be adaptable to evolving threats.

The MEPs name Russia the “primary threat for Europe’s democratic integrity,” adding that frequent hybrid attacks on critical infrastructure, such as cyberattacks, physical sabotage, arson, espionage and signal jamming, are also originating also from Belarus, China, Iran and North Korea.

The lawmakers call for expanded sanctions targeting enablers of Russian disinformation and non-EU entities, particularly Chinese ones, that help circumvent sanctions and facilitate Russian operations.

There are also measures and funding for civil society organization, particularly via AgoraEU (opens pdf).

    You’re saying you think it’s good to not criticize something morally wrong for fear of losing internet points?

      It’s enough that it is not motivating so people don’t reply as often as they could.

        Right, so I’m correct in saying that many of you have apparently known this whole time, and yet only talk about it when it effects you. I’m saying that people in this community are cowardly and uncritical. Fear of criticizing something due to the most minute consequences of people on the internet getting mad at you is not something I find relatable or acceptable when so much of the fascism we are currently dealing with has been facilitated through online culture.
