Debate in Nieuwspoort: EU and power relations, take back control?

Much has happened in the past few months inside and outside of the EU. On November 6th 2019, the effects of these developments on the balance of power were debated. Who has the power in Brussels? Where does the EU stand in light of global developments on the world stage?

Rem Korteweg, Bram van Ojik, Renske Leijten and Stéphane Alonso participated in this debate, which was led by Kees Boonman.

Please note that this event was held in Dutch. For further information we kindly refer you to the Dutch version of our website by clicking on 'Nederlands' in the right upper corner of this page.
