SUMMARY:Heinrich Böll Foundation - After Europe goes to the polls: Where is the European Union headed? (Berlin)
DESCRIPTION:Event Background\nThe European election will be a litmus test for the European democratic project and further reveal and demonstrate what has been a trend in many European countries in recent years – the increasing success of right-wing populist and extremist forces. In regions where they are gaining more and more ground\, they have already managed to influence the political discourse to a large degree and thus changed the direction and\nimpetus of the European election campaigns. \nAbout the Event\nThe Heinrich Böll Foundation is therefore committed to bringing its European partners and European actors fighting against right-wing populism in Europe together to provide a platform for networking and the exchange of ideas\, best practices and lessons learned. \nAt the conference “After Europe goes to the polls: Where is the European Union headed?”\, the election results will be analysed\, to examine the causes of voting behaviour in the individual EU member states\, and discuss with European experts how the new majorities will impact the European Parliament’s ability to act\, the interaction between the EU institutions\, and the orientation of future EU policy. \nThe networking event – as part of the Conference – aims to connect and support progressive forces that promote liberal democracy within the EU. \nHeld with the cooperation of the Green European Foundation. \nProgramme\nMonday\, June 3rd\, 2019 \n10.45: Registration\n11.00: Welcome\n13.00: Lunch\n14.00: Welcome address and introduction\nDr. Ellen Ueberschär\, President\, Heinrich Böll Foundation\, Berlin \nKeynote\nWhat challenges await the European Union after the European elections?\nIvan Krastev\, Chair of the Centre for Liberal Strategies and Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences\, Sofia/Vienna \nDiscussion with:\nAnne Gellinek*\, Chief of the ZDF Television Office Brussels\, Second German Television\,\nBrussels \n15.00: Break\n15.30: Panel – Analysis of the election results \n· Motives and background: What are the key election results?\n· What kind of EU have the voters elected?\n· What were the motives behind electing parties sceptical about the EU and\nintegration?\n· Do the election results vary by certain regions or groups of countries?\n· What impact will the election results have on the EU policy of individual member\nstates?\nPiotr Buras\, Head of the Warsaw Office\, European Council on Foreign Relations\, Warsaw\nProf. Dr. Sylvie Strudel\, Professor of Political Science\, Université de Paris 2\, Paris\nProf. Dr. Uwe Jun\, Professor of Political Science\, Trier University\, Trier\nProf. Dr. Lina Papadopoulou\, Associate Professor of Constitutional Law\, Aristotle University Thessaloniki \n17.00: Break\n17.30: Panel – Where is the EU headed after Europe goes to the polls? \n· What effect will the new majorities have on the European Parliament’s ability to act?\n· New parliamentary groups – new alliances: How must the progressive forces now\nposition themselves?\n· How much support does the European Union still have?
