Security, EU Enlargement and the Role of the EU in the Defense of Ukraine

Now more than two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we are faced with many international challenges: How has the topic of EU Securitisation changed since 2022? To what extent is the EU expansion discussion seen through the perspective of the Ukraine war? How must the EU's capacity to act in the defense of Ukraine develop? How should EU institutions be strengthened to further manage these securitization issues?   Please join us for an evening of discussions between citizens and a panel of candidates for the European Parliament. The event will be initiated by a 45-minute. panel discussion by experts on the topic, followed by a 1 hour 15 mins debate by EP candidates defined by Q&A from the audience.

Why an English language debate? 20% of the EU citizens living in Denmark, live in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. They have a right to vote in the European election in June 2024 in Denmark, but will they? For too long, European issues have been seen through national lenses. The election to the European Parliament has suffered from the lack of inclusion of a European point of view and we wish to change this.

The event is a collaboration between Volt Denmark, Renaissance, Radikale Venstre, Alternativet, and Nyt Europa.
