Europees verkiezingsdebat (NL)
THIS DEBATE WILL BE IN DUTCH
Register via their website - we will visit with a big purple group!
Debate in Kortrijk with multiple Dutch-speaking lead candidates for the European elections, including our Sophie in 't Veld
On Sunday, June 9, it's time to cast our vote for the regional, federal, and European elections.
The European elections are sometimes overlooked, but this is unjustified. Here too, major stakes are involved: Will Europe fulfil the ambitions of the Green Deal? How will Europe deal with conflicts, instability, and refugee flows? Moreover, for the first time, young people between 16 and 18 years old have the opportunity to vote. Although they are not obliged to vote, they do have the right to make their voices heard. Plenty of reasons, therefore, to give these European elections the attention they deserve.
European Election Debate
During this debate, we present current issues to various lead candidates and ask for their opinions, visions, and positions regarding the challenges the European Union faces. Participants will have the opportunity to participate through voting.
