Interesting discussion last night at #MaastrichtDebate, but what about #civilsociety? 🤔

CSOs are key actors in protecting EU 🇪🇺 democracy at a time when it is endangered, but they need better recognition and support.

[João Paulo Magalhães @JoaoPMM4]

The #MaastrichtDebate was the closest democratic debate possible under the current arrangements

Nevertheless, it shows the importance for the 🇪🇺 future and holding quasi-representatives accountable

Quick take: solely focus on farmers (4.7% 🇪🇺workers) and absence of social 📌

Ils ont connu l’Europe sans la démocratie et sans la #liberté. Voici leur message pour la prochaine génération, pour ma génération. #9Juin2024 - @UEFrance / @Europarl_FR 🇪🇺

An amazing effort from @POLITICOEurope all around, especially the EU team who did an exceptional job on stage: @NicholasVinocur, @EddyWax and @BMoens! So proud of this trio

[Génération Maastricht @MaastrichtGen]

@MaastrichtGen is at the #MaastrichtDebate to see what the #Spitzenkandidaten propose on key topics for young people: climate change, foreign & security policy, & EU democracy - what #youth is interested in.
"This is about YOU, the youth. You are the future" as @BasEickhout said.

Too little at the #MaastrichtDebate on Europe's global responsibility... #VoteFutureEurope: for an #EU able to put climate justice at the core of policies development and actions in the next 5 years

[Daniel Freund @daniel_freund]

Greens just won the #MaastrichtDebate. Von der Leyen coming in 2nd.

VERY well done, @BasEickhout!

[Teri Schultz @terischultz]

Here's how participating voters weighed in after #MaastrichtDebate. Eickhout got the most applause throughout the event but perhaps not surprising with a young Dutch crowd.

[Christelle Savall @crmsavall]

🐊“If you are a federalist” guilty as charged! 😎
Because federalism is hope for tomorrow,
providing common solutions for common problems that we can only tackle at the European level.
We need a United Europe based on peace, democracy and human rights! #toFedEU #MaastrichtDebate

[Dave Keating @DaveKeating]

Very interesting exchange just now in #MaastrichtDebate on Russian disinfo

President von der Leyen turns to the far-right ID candidate to her left and says: "We will not allow that you destroy the EU. We are stronger than you, and we will fight your interference with all means."

[Connor Allen @ConnorAllenEU]

I think @AndersVistisen probably performed the best in the #MaastrichtDebate tonight.

I imagine that quite a few people who previously wouldn't have given @IDParty_ the time of day will be deep in thought after this.

[Frank de Boer @deboer_f]

Tige sterk slotwurd fan @RoMaylis by it #MaastrichtDebate

Strong final statement by Maylis Roßberg, the top candidate of the European Free Alliance

#ForAll @EFAparty @fnpfryslan

[Teun Janssen @janssen_teun]

For an hour, the EP candidates talk about EU democracy without providing any ideas on European democracy. Too afraid to propose treaty change, transnational lists or mobilising young people. Instead it's a referendum on VDL's second term, who isn't even running. #maastrichtdebate

[EU-US Forum @EUUSForum]

BAS EICKHOUT says he has a problem with mass migration being put in the category of defense and security.

This comes just weeks after Germany released a report detailing that over HALF of violent crimes in Germany were committed by illegal immigrants.

[Maylis Roßberg @RoMaylis]

Let me be clear:

WE WILL NEVER BOW TO THE FAR-RIGHT AGENDA. NEVER.

[Young European Federalists @JEF_Europe]

“The democracy in one EU country has an impact on all others. We need to use Article 7 to remove voting rights from Hungary” @MAStrackZi
exactly why we need to #TreatyReformNow to remove unanimity and protect better democracy
