On 12 April, the UK missed its second Brexit deadline after voting to leave the EU nearly three years ago. The UK has now been given time until 31 October and will thus participate in the European parliamentary elections next month.
SG Debate Café. Free entrance.
Several panelists, including Patrick Bijsmans (FASoS).
When: Tuesday 7 May, 20.00.
Where: Dominicanen Bookshop, Dominicanerkerkstraat 1.
The extension impacts both British and European politics as well as prolongs the uncertainty on what will happen next. How will the deadlock be broken?
At this Debate Café, we will discuss how things have evolved after 29 March and what is yet to come. Focus will be on the practical consequences in different aspects of the life of the citizens from an interdisciplinary approach. What is the future of the UK-EU relations? Will there be a hard border in Northern Ireland? How will EU and British citizens be impacted in terms of employment, economy, health and education?
Come and join this diverse Debate Café and seize the opportunity to discuss it with a panel expert about these issues.
