SUMMARY:Dinner Debate 2022
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Wednesday 1 June at 19.30\, the FMA Management Committee organised a Dinner Debate in the European Parliament’s Presidential Salon. The Dinner Debate was preceded by a Cocktail Reception\, hosted by the FMA at 18.30. \nThe event was chaired by the then FMA President Hans-Gert Pöttering. Guest Speaker Pat Cox\, former EP (2002-2004) and FMA President (2010-2014)\, gave an inspiring speech on ‘War in Ukraine – the 21st century’s most momentous geopolitical event’: “Putin’s invasion of Ukraine marks a point of inflection in global history and is the most momentous geopolitical event so far of the 21st century. This new reality has been an eye-opening wake up call for democracies across the world. For all their contested politics\, these democracies got the message loud and clear and responded to the challenge with a speed\, substance and coherence that Putin and perhaps even they could not have anticipated.”[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”READ THE FULL SPEECH BY PAT COX” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.formermembers.eu%2Fspeech-by-pat-cox-war-in-ukraine-the-21st-centurys-most-momentous-geopolitical-event%2F”][vc_column_text] \nThe speech was followed by a Q&A session with the audience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21905″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] \nFrom left: Former EP President Klaus HÄNSCH\, FMA and Former EP President\nHans-Gert PÖTTERING and Former FMA and EP President Pat COX\nat the FMA Annual Dinner Debate on 1 June 2022. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
