Day 19. Still nothing. The silence has been nominated for an award for outstanding continuity.

Democracy Shield, small print: not for use against allies.

Day 17. No condemnation. The Office has checked the spam folder.

Henna Virkkunen poses as a champion of press and media freedom: €20.5 million, plus a rapid response mechanism for attacks on it. Rapid response to the US pressure on #Disinfo2026, Europe’s own conference on foreign interference: none on file. Day 16. democracy-shield.eu

Day 15. We regret to inform you that there is nothing to inform you about.

Starlink throttled: “extremely concerning”. Clear message sent to Elon Musk. US pressure on Europe’s own disinformation conference: concern pending, message in interservice consultation. Day 15. The Commission can find its voice. It just needs the right billionaire. democracy-shield.eu

The EU calls reports of restricted Starlink service in Ukraine “extremely concerning” and is sending Elon Musk a clear message.

Day 14. Deep concern: still out of stock. A new delivery is expected after the next reflection process.

Exhibit B. The EU's diplomatic service invented the term FIMI. It then courageously withdrew, said an EU spokesperson, because the organisers framed discussions "in a way which does not align with the official positions held by the EU". Foreign interference: now subject to official positions.

Clarification, for the record: "courageously" is this Office’s word, not the spokesperson’s. The spokesperson’s word was "framing". The Office regrets any confusion, which, unlike the reaction, was immediate.

Day 13. No reaction on file. The file has been dusted, just in case.

Your concern has been registered. It will be processed in the order received, after everyone else's concern.

Exhibit E, verbatim: "Not a single senior Commission official has publicly spoken out to criticize this direct interference and pressure on European soil." (European Partnership for Democracy, Head of Policy) This Office has checked. We regret to confirm.

Conclusion. Day 10. Reaction: pending. Deep concern: temporarily out of stock. Democracy Shield: still in its packaging. We will keep counting until someone says something, or our six-digit display gives up first. democracy-shield.eu Almost-satire. Unlike the silence.

Exhibit C. The EU still funds the conference. It simply prefers not to be seen there. Sponsorship, redefined: the money stays, the logo leaves, and white stickers cover the rest.

Exhibit D. 70+ civil society organisations sent an open letter asking EU institutions to resist undue pressure "regardless of its origin". Received by this Office. Acknowledged. Filed under "For information", in keeping with institutional practice. Read the letter

Exhibit A. Before the event, the US government asked EU Member States and Canada to drop their support, and suggested the organisers edit the agenda. Three sponsors then removed their logos at record speed: Lithuania's foreign ministry, Global Affairs Canada and the EU's own diplomats. (Source)
