Sustained, adequate funding for long-term democracy support remains crucial for Europe’s long-term security. Democratic institutions take time to build - they need consistent, patient investment to succeed. #DemocracySupport #EUValues.

Democracy support is about EU values - more importantly it ensures Europe's long-term security. Global Europe recognises that supporting democracy, human rights, and rule of law is essential for peace and stability.

Welcome news: The #MFF proposal by the European Commission’s Global Europe regulation explicitly commits to strengthening democratic resilience in partner countries by tackling foreign information manipulation and protecting free media.
