Despite withdrawing its branding as an official supporter, the EU continues to fund the conference.

A diplomatic source at France’s foreign ministry said “there’s absolutely no reason for us to change our commitments” when it came to supporting the conference.

“We stick to supporting civil society. It’s not just principled, it’s operational,” she said, adding that the conference was a “laboratory” that helped Europe develop key policy around disinformation.

Spineless.

Except France, they're cool.

It's politics, unfortunately of the appalling type.

Yes, it's actually embarrassing that it takes so little for Macron to stand out as the positive example.
