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).

    Oh, chat control in general much more even.

    But this specific vote by the parliament when they rejected to extend this bullshit chat control 1.0 temporary exception was instantly repeated within a week because the right-wing morons didn’t like the result. They got the same one again, so they now cheated and introduced the same thing again via the EU commision instead, one day before the summer break when not enough parliament members were still there to reject it a third time.

      How this can be legal is beyond me

      If something was voted against, just pushing it again is real bullshit and shouldn’t be allowed
