Last week we celebrated International Democracy Day!

#DefendDemocracy brought together inspiring voices for an informal exchange on the future of our democracy.

Thanks to @ec.europa.eu guest speaker Simona Constantin for adding real depth to the discussion & to @K_B_Foundation for support.

Thank you for a passionate exchange about defending democracy, resilience, Ukraine, and the importance of standing up for our values — especially in a changing transatlantic relationship!

Such an honour to host a @democracydrinks.bsky.social with former U.S. Ambassador to the EU Anthony Gardner.

Honoured to welcome EU Commission VP @VeraJourova at our #DemocracyDrinks.

Coming from Czechia, a former communist state,

“I was grateful to President VonDerLeyen for giving me the [European values] portfolio, because I knew exactly what I *didn’t* want to happen in our EU countries.”

At the end of her mandate, this is your chance to ask her a final question about democracy and to say goodbye in person.
