EU-denktank Bruegel – nadenken over EP2019

EU denktank Bruegel, Corona, Brexit

Ook bij EU-denktank Bruegel kijkt men terug op EP2019, en de mogelijke problemen met, en de consequenties van de uitslag.

Herkenbaar is dat men er nu al te makkelijk over denkt.

Bruegel director Guntram Wolff hosts Ferdinando Giugliano, columnist for Bloomberg and La Repubblica, and Krzysztof Blusz, political analyst and senior fellow at WiseEuropa – Centre for European Strategy, for a discussion about the results of the European elections, both across Europe and within the states of Italy and Poland.

An analysis of the results of the most recent European elections reveals what Bruegel director Guntram Wolff classifies as a generally positive trend in electoral participation across the EU, with an overall increase of 7% in voter turnout since the last elections in 2014. Additionally, populist parties in the European Parliament seem to have been prevented from gaining ground.

However, election results in some EU member states were not as pro-EU at the national level. In this podcast, Guntram Wolff welcomes Ferdinando Giugliano from Bloomberg and Krzysztof Blusz from WiseEuropa to discuss the results in each guest’s home countries – Italy and Poland, respectively – and how the nationalist trends in each state might play a role in politics in the new European Parliament and European Commission.

    1, Nadenken over democratische verkiezingen-uitslagen ? Dat is inmenging.
    2. “EU”-“denk-tank” ‘Brueghel’ = Polit-buro.
