A LECTURE BY TIMOTHY GARTON ASH 

DATE: Friday / April 1, 2022 TIME: 5pm CETLOCATION: Budapest, Nador u. 15. / online on Facebook DETAILS: https://events.ceu.edu/2022-04-01/war-ukraine-and-future-democracy-central-europe

FACEBOOK:

The war in Ukraine has transformed thinking about almost every aspect of the European Union, from security to energy, and put the spotlight on its central and east European member states. How does it affect the future of democracy in Central Europe? Does it sharpen the focus on the erosion of the rule of law and democracy in countries like Hungary and Poland, or rather soften it, since for a united response to Putin's aggression in Ukraine the EU needs the support of its frontline states?

Please note that this is a hybrid event: you may join in-person (Budapest campus, Nador u. 15.), or follow it online, on our Facebook-page.

Registration is required if you would like attend the event in-person.*
