Democratic Resilience: Luxembourg brings together Benelux and European partners to counter hybrid threats
As part of Luxembourg's presidency of the Benelux Union, the High Commission for National Protection hosted a workshop focused on defending democracy, the rule of law, and government continuity in the face of hybrid threats and systemic crises.
The event brought together high-level experts from the Hybrid Centre of Excellence in Helsinki, the European Commission, the European External Action Service, EU INTCEN, as well as national representatives from Benelux countries and key partners including Finland, Denmark, Norway, Latvia, and Liechtenstein.
Democracies are increasingly confronted with sophisticated threats that blend conventional and unconventional tactics, including
- Disinformation
- Cyberattacks
- Sabotage
- Foreign interference
undermine public trust, disrupt institutions, and weaken the rule of law.
