#NextMFF and #GlobalGateway on the agenda of our Steering Committee day 2

@ecdpm.org Dr. Amandine Sabourin and our Policy Adviser Claire Helly leading the debates with our partners

Complex and transformed geopolitical context at the heart of discussions for #LocalGov and their associations

First panel discusses the findings of the Flagship report on ‘democracy at risk - people’s perspectives’.
For the people interviewed, concerns exist on the quality of democracy, but they largely prefer democracy (66%) to other non-democratic governments.

With pleasure :) Thanks a lot for inviting @ecdpm.org!

"As the new #MFF will be decided during the Danish Presidency, this should be a key occasion to discuss about the EU's relationship with its partners and reconsider its priorities"

"African countries have several new partners. Europe is just one among others [...] the EU must rethink its #partnership model in order to navigate the evolving global context"

Facilitated by Christine Nissen, session I is addressing 'Europe rearmed' and the future of security - @cerianbond.bsky.social and Svitlana chekunova say that the EU-Ukraine partnership must be strengthened, and needs to go beyond security & defence: it's also about boosting Ukraine's economy

Danish Minister for European affairs Marie Bjerre just kicked-off the conference and presented some of the presidency's key priorities: Ukraine and security, competitiveness, and the green transition.
