Cash, Freedom, and the Fight Against Financial Control

At a time when the European Union is pushing hard and fast toward digital payments, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and ever-tighter financial surveillance,

the Patriots for Europe Foundation proudly hosts Cash, Freedom, and the Fight Against Financial Control on February 11, 2026, from 18:00 to 19:30 at the Hilton Hotel in Strasbourg, 1 Av. Herrenschmidt, 67000 Strasbourg.

The Patriots for Europe Foundation proudly invites you to an event that goes straight to the heart of our mission: defending national sovereignty, individual freedoms, and the rights of Europe’s peoples against the overbearing Brussels bureaucracy.

The event will bring together voices from across Europe to examine the political and legal consequences of cash transaction limits, mandatory traceability requirements, and the move toward a cashless system, as well as the broader question of who ultimately controls how you spend your money.

In this critical moment, cash is much more than notes and coins; it remains the last genuine stronghold of monetary freedom.

Join us on February 11, in Strasbourg to examine the political and legal consequences of cash transaction limits, mandatory traceability requirements.

Join us afterward for a cocktail reception.

When criticism becomes dangerous: The attack on media freedom and freedom of expression 

Join us in Vienna to foster open discussion on the role of free media as a cornerstone of democracy.

In recent years, media freedom and freedom of expression have increasingly become the object of political and regulatory intervention, raising fundamental questions about the balance between democratic governance and the right to dissent. As journalists, editors, and social media content creators face growing political pressures due to growing institutional efforts to control political narratives and the public square.

The Patriots for Europe Foundation hosts When criticism becomes dangerous: The attack on media freedom and freedom of expression on February 19, 2026, from 18:30 to 21:30 at the Vienna Marriott Hotel, Parkring 12a, 1010 Wien, Austria.

In these dark times, when Brussels elites, globalist corporations and unelected censors relentlessly attack independent journalism and silence patriotic voices, free media remains the last bastion of real democracy.

In this event, Patriotic voices will openly expose the machinery of political pressure, financial strangulation and technological censorship that threatens our peoples’ right to know the truth. This discussion is not optional, it is essential to preserve the sovereignty and soul of Europe itself.

Only Patriots for Europe has the courage to confront these threats head on without compromise or apology. While others bow to the dominant ideology and accept a single permitted narrative, we stand unyielding for genuine pluralism and the sacred freedom of expression.
