@raffaele @edsu Honestly sounds better than the previous minister who talked about "cultural heritage as our oil fields". This one seems a pretty standard call for EU military interests to be defended through higher investments on propaganda, like the USA does since 1917 with CPI/OWI/USIA/USAGM. The EU already does this with EEAS to a certain extent. Using this mechanism to fund libraries seems a bit fat fetched. :)
