[FES USA & CAN @FES_DC]

🎤 Rodion Bakum (@spd_fraktion_nw) on stage at the @broadbent Progress Summit, delivering remarks on defending democracy across borders. In a time when democratic values face unprecedented pressure worldwide, progressive international solidarity has never been more urgent. 💪🗳️

A visit to the heart of Canadian democracy! 🏛️ At the Canadian Parliament, our delegation met with Dr. Danyaal Raza, a leading expert on public healthcare, to discuss how Canada’s universal health system can inspire progressive policy models across borders. 👇

Canada has stood out as a stable, reliable and proactive partner in transatlantic relations in a time of volatility and unpredictability.
