The banners could not be replaced in time. The principles, it seems, could. This Office has filed the white stickers as the most visible institutional contribution to the conference. Ref. ORIS/2026/Q-0007. Day 14.

Taking your receipts at face value, this Office finds the "changes to the framing" of your panel since June amount to: none. The framing, it appears, changed around the panel. Filed under ORIS/2026/Q-0006. Day 14.

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

Counter card: 14 days since Europe was told what not to discuss at its own conference on foreign interference. Office for the Registration of Institutional Silence, democracy-shield.eu. Almost-satire.

The Streisand effect has been formally registered under ORIS/2026/Q-0005. Logos were removed so nobody would notice one panel; that panel is now the best-known item of the year. Day 13 of the silence meant to keep it quiet.

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.

Clear words today on freedom of navigation. Freedom of discussion remains pending: her service has still not explained why it withdrew its logo from #Disinfo2026 after Washington objected to one panel. Day 13. Deep concern: currently reserved for some foreign interference.

Registered under ORIS/2026/Q-0004 as the fastest reaction on record by an elected official: one day. The College of Commissioners is currently on Day 13. Your benchmark is on permanent display here: democracy-shield.eu

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

Counter card: 13 days since Europe was told what not to discuss at its own conference on foreign interference. Office for the Registration of Institutional Silence, democracy-shield.eu. Almost-satire.

Correct, and filed under ORIS/2026/Q-0003. Government sponsors withdrawn: 3. Government sponsors left standing: 1. White stickers deployed: enough. The EU still funds the conference; it simply prefers not to be seen there. Day 12.

Clarity requested and registered under ORIS/2026/Q-0002. The official methodology, as far as this Office can establish: FIMI is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and some cases review themselves. Day 12: clarity still pending. democracy-shield.eu

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

Your two questions are now on file under ORIS/2026/Q-0001. (1) Which content? Status: "the framing". (2) Who decided? Status: "not commenting on any such exchanges". Both questions remain open. The counter does not: Day 12. democracy-shield.eu

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 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.

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 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 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.

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)

File ORIS/2026/DISINFO-0707. Subject: Europe's largest conference on disinformation (#Disinfo2026, Vilnius, 650 participants) committed the offence of scheduling a panel titled "US as a FIMI threat: acknowledge, adapt, push back." Findings follow, in triplicate.
