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.

On my way to #NATOsummit Public Forum in The Hague, where I hope to discuss societal resilience against hybrid attacks.
Live example: despite potential sabotage between Amsterdam and Schiphol, my train is running smoothly 
Defend Democracy joins call urging #Europe to put #democracy at the heart of its new #security agenda.
Having always chosen #UNITED24 for defence support to Ukraine until the beginning of this year, I joined #HELP99, #69th_sniffing_brigade a few months ago. Now I thought that in many areas it is certainly more favourable if systems are developed and produced locally. This makes #Ukraine independent, strengthens the economy and secures jobs.
Now I have found a great initiative on UNITED24, which is also a #NAFO project:
»UNITED24 x NAFO V:
Dark Night
We're launching our 5th fundraiser with NAFO Fellas.
This time, for a Sky Sentinel - an AI-controlled air defence turret that will protect Ukrainians from Russian drones and missiles.«

So I am able to kill two orcs with one stone and do something in addition to my recurring donations to HELP99.

#EU Parliament calls for stronger enforcement of EUropean values and decisions of the EU's Court of Justice, warning that the legitimacy of the EU legal order is at stake.
“The silence of [EUropean] democrats is the greatest boon for extremists.”

Fascism returns not as echo but as algorithm; silence greases the gears of decay. Our words are firewall, our vigilance the compass of democracy: I just signed to defend reason, truth and liberty against history’s looping ruin.

@youranoncentral.bsky.social This poor man - a hero who fought a war to protect us from shit like this. So many Americans tonight are heartbroken, outraged, and ashamed. I’ll see you in the streets, friends. We should all rally and protest in solidarity with this veteran. #NoKings #peacefulprotest #resist #defenddemocracy #authoritarianism #fascism #humanrights
"We live in a new era. Which means that we need new #defence and #security policies. With an open eye and clear answers and actions to #hybrid warfare."
Why liberal democracies must act now.
An honour to join this powerful video by @fnfeurope Global Security Hub, a strong partner of @DefendDemocracy
The No Kings mobilizations on June 14 were already planned as a peaceful stand against authoritarian overreach and the gross abuse of power this Administration has shown. Now, this military escalation only confirms what we’ve known: this government wants to rule by force, not serve the people. From major cities to small towns, we’ll rise together and say: we reject political violence. We reject fear as governance. We reject the myth that only some deserve freedom. #NoKings #June14Protests #DefendDemocracy #ResistAuthoritarianism
