Am 17.05.2018 fand in Bratislava die fünfte von insgesamt sieben öffentlichen Veranstaltungen im Rahmen des Europe for Citizens Projekts “Anti EU-rhetoric versus own national interests? National populism and its reception in Central Europe” statt.
Eine gemeinsame Pressekonferenz der Projektpartner widmete sich der Präsentation der wichtigsten Ergebnisse der 5-Länder-Umfragen, wobei ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf das öffentliche Meinungsbild in der Slowakei gelegt wurde. Eine ausführliche Darstellung der slowakischen Umfrageergebnisse findet sich im Bericht “Slovakia: A pro-European island in Central Europe”.
Im Anschluss daran wurde das Thema im Rahmen der GLOBSEC City Talks 2018: Euroscepticsm in Central Europe: Threat or Business as usual? von einem prominent besetzten Podium weiter vertieft. Die Veranstaltung ist als Video-Aufzeichnung hier verfügbar.
Es diskutierten:
Maroš Šefčovič, Europäische Kommission, Brüssel
Ivan Korčok, Staatssekretär für Auswärtige und Europäische Angelegenheiten, Bratislava
Paul Schmidt, Österreichische Gesellschaft für Europapolitik, Wien
Moderation: Sylvie Kauffman, Le Monde
“While the political discourse in Europe is being shaped and influenced by the Eurosceptic rhetoric, the divisions within the societies continue to grow. Central Europe has not been immune to this trend – newly emerged political actors as well as more established political forces have been exploiting recent crises and turmoil both on the EU and domestic level to gain support, especially among the region’s most vulnerable groups. Why is Euroscepticism gaining ground? What damaging consequences can it have for the national interests and for the EU? Do the Eurosceptic populists pose a threat to the region? What can we do to counteract Eurosceptic attitudes and behaviour?”
An der Veranstaltung nahmen 87 BürgerInnen teil (darunter allgemeine Öffentlichkeit, Studierende, EntscheidungsträgerInnen, VertreterInnen von NGOs, Medien…)

A Permanent EU Investment Fund for Tackling the Climate and Energy Crisis
By: Philipp Heimberger, Andreas Lichtenberger
The member states of the European Union need to increase public investment to transform the energy and transport system and achieve climate targets. This necessity is also highlighted due to the geopolitical circumstances surrounding the war in Ukraine, in particular the price increases caused by fossil fuels. Current public spending is not sufficient to successfully fight climate change, argue the authors of the Policy Brief. They analyse the prospective reform of EU fiscal rules as announced by the European Commission, suggest the establishment of a permanent EU investment fund for climate and offer policy recommendations.

Bringing sustainability to the Western Balkan region
By: Daniele Fattibene, Federico Castiglioni, Matteo Bonomi
The Sustainable Development Goals are an ambitious benchmark that the United Nations has adopted to scientifically assess the advancement made by single countries in sustainable growth. The European Union fully embraces these objectives and is recently anchoring to these international standards many of its plans on sustainability and development. Indeed, even though the Copenhagen criteria do not explicitly mention environmental goals, the political dialogue on the Sustainable Development Goals between Brussels and all the EU candidate countries today is vibrant but not much investigated. The authors of this Policy Brief aim to shed a light on the relationship between Sustainable Development Goals and the EU policy of enlargement, focusing the attention on the Western Balkan region, and provide policy recommendations to both European and national decision-makers.
