Democrat offers from 12:00 hours the first electoral debate of 29-N in a European key, a meeting held in the European Parliament, in Brussels, which brings together representatives of the main Spanish political forces in the Eurochamber to analyze the community issues that will shape the next legislature.
Tono López-Istúriz (Partido Popular), Sandra Gómez (Partido Socialista), Hermann Tertsch (Vox), and Estrella Galán (Sumar) take part in this meeting, hosted by Álvaro Villarroel, Demócrata’s correspondent in Brussels. The four Members of the European Parliament confront their positions on some of the most relevant negotiations for the future of the European Union and the role Spain will have to play after the general elections on November 29.
The multiannual financial framework 2028-2034 takes up one of the main blocks of the debate. The future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), cohesion funds, the financing of new priorities such as defense and competitiveness, and the creation of own resources focus the exchange on the next Community budget.
The discussion also addresses European migration policy, from the application of the Pact on Migration and Asylum to return mechanisms and the outsourcing of border control. A debate in which Spain will have a relevant role due to its geographic position and the challenges it faces at its external borders.
The war in Ukraine and the security of the continent round out the major issues of the meeting. European support for Kyiv, the development of the defense industry, and the Union’s strategic autonomy put on the table the different visions of the parties about the place Europe must occupy in the new geopolitical scenario. Follow the debate live through all Demócrata channels and learn the parties’ positions on European decisions that will also be on the table of the next Government of Spain.
