A European network comprising 21 organizations is arguing that democracy should be considered part of European security. This position was presented in the context of a call for greater funding for democratic initiatives on the continent.
The network, known as EPD (European Partnership for Democracy), warned of the risks associated with possible cuts in funding for democracy-related programs. The warning comes at a time when investments in this sector may be threatened.
The network's members are calling for greater investment in democracy, arguing that it should be treated as a strategic priority. The position of the 21 organizations reflects a common concern about the future of funding for projects aimed at strengthening democratic processes in Europe.
The EPD's call comes in a broader context of debate about the resources allocated to the protection and promotion of democracy in the European Union, with the network insisting that efforts in this area should not be compromised.
