We are participating in the 10th edition of the International Day of Democracy in Brussels.
Our team composed of Fabio Bargiacchi, Julia Onnasch, Alessio Beltrami, and Jacopo Ardito participated in this year’s event titled “A Year of Elections”. The event brings together the democratic community and stakeholders within Brussels, including members of the EU institutions, representatives from Member States, and members of organizations working with elections and democratic institutions.
The two-day event will see a series of panels to discuss the global state of democracy in such an important electoral year, including an overview of the EU institution on how the incoming European Commission and newly elected European Parliament will translate their priorities into concrete actions that strengthen democracy.
The event saw the participation of:
- Dubravka Šuica, Vice-President for Democracy and Demography at the European Commission;
- Kevin Casas Zamora, Secretary-General of International Idea;
- Patrick Molinoz Chair of Commission for Citizenship, Governance, Institutional and External Affairs (CIVEX) at the Committee of the Regions;
- Chiara Adamo, Deputy to the Director for Human Development, Migration, Governance and Peace directorate in DG INTPA;
- Leopoldo López, Venezuelan opposition leader.
We are happy to participate in this event and to exchange with colleagues and EU institutions about the democratic landscape changes in this important electoral year.
