With one year to go before the European Elections in May 2024, the European institutions are gearing up to defend this unique continent-wide democratic exercise form foreign interference.
The future European Parliament will find itself addressing many critical questions for the European project such as the future of EU enlargement, regulating the digital sphere and safeguarding European democracy. The result of the 2024 elections will shape the EU and the world for years to come. As the European Parliament has acquired more powers, also the interest in its democratic processes has increased. Unfortunately, this also includes interest from malicious third countries and geo-political competitors, who have a stake in the outcomes. YPFP Brussels is pleased to collaborate with Sigma on this unique event that will examine potential threats to the integrity of the European Parliament elections and possible ways to address them. It presents a unique opportunity for YPFP members and young professionals to pitch and discuss their proposals with the Member of the European Parliament, Mr. Vladimír Bilčík. Participants can register for the event and submit their policy ideas on countering foreign interference. If selected, they will have the chance to present their proposals during the debate. Don't miss this chance to contribute to the conversation and make your voice heard!
Please register by 12 May 2023, 17:00 CEST!
Arrivals at the venue (European Parliament) are foreseen at 16:45!
