Ukraine requires enduring support from its allies, while the upcoming Belgian government has crucial decisions to make about its defense policy. It’s important for voters to understand where each political party stands on these critical matters.
The upcoming event, “The Great Election Debate: War in Ukraine and Defense Policy,” offers a chance to explore these topics. Scheduled for a week before the elections, it will bring together key representatives from seven Flemish political parties to debate issues like NATO, defense spending, backing Ukraine, and EU collaboration.
The participants for the debate are:
• Alexander de Croo (Open Vld)
• Caroline Gennez (Vooruit)
• Theo Vrancken (N-VA)
• Gerolf Annemans (Vlaams Belang)
• Koen Geens (CD§V)
• Bogdan vanden Berghe (Groen)
• Marc Botenga (PVDA)
This debate is organised by Ghent Institute of European and International Studies with support of the Eureast Platform.
The debate will be conducted in Dutch.
Time § Place: 27 May, 17:30 – 20:00, UFO, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 33, Ghent
