European democracy and its core values are under pressure due to the tensions around Europe's borders, Russia's assertiveness and Trump's threats towards NATO. How can we organise security in Europe so that we protect democracy and human rights both within our borders and with our neighbours? What steps have already been taken for a more secure European foreign policy, and what legal, cultural and political obstacles stand in the way of further cooperation? Are we too dependent on the US, and should there be a joint European military? Come hear political scientist Gerry van der Kamp-Alons, scholar of law Henri de Waele and Member of the European Parliament Thijs Reuten on how Europe should shape its safety future.
