Every year, we organize dozens of different events across the Czech Republic, through which we regularly open the most interesting and pressing social issues. We combine leading policies with experts from around the world, representatives of the most successful companies and professional public. We give to discussions a new dimension and bring innovative solutions. So, we hope to see you soon, check out our events that we're preparing.
The Institute for Politics and Society invites you to a public debate with Ryszard Petru, Chairman of Nowoczesna and opposition leader in the Polish Parliament, and Pavel Telicka, 2nd Vice-President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament.
Growing East-West Divide?
Challenges for Central Europe from Polish and Czech Perspectives.
The process of Euro-Atlantic integration of Central Europe delivered to this region two decades of stability and growing prosperity. In 2016, however, the region stands in front of numerous challenges: The European Union is mired in multiple crises, still repairing the Eurozone architecture, facing massive migration pressure, trying to prevent terrorist attacks, and, at the same time, working to avoid a “Brexit”.
Populist governments in some Central-European countries distance themselves from liberal democracy and focus on cementing their grip on power by switching off the checks and balances – by paralyzing the constitutional court and tightening media freedom.
This region is however, at the same time challenged from the East: by an expansionist Russia which uses violence and propaganda to undermine the unity of the EU and to redraft the map of the continent.
Come and join us for a conversation between Ryszard Petru, Pavel Telicka, and moderator Jan Machacek. The debate is scheduled for February 22 from 3 pm at Schebek Palace (Politickych veznu 7, Prague). The debate will be held in English without translation.
