Europe is again at a crossroad. 2019 will bring the first secession from the Union, while economy, immigration, and social welfare remain high on the agenda. The European Parliament elections provide an important measuring point, although the Commission and its program is still formed by the national governments.

What will Europe look like in five years? How will the monetary union develop? What is the future of social Europe? Is the direction towards tighter federation or looser union of nations?

These and other Europe-related topics will be discussed by academics, politicians and the civil society in Call to Europe -seminar in Helsinki.

The event takes place in Tiedekulma on the 6th of October. Organizers are Kalevi Sorsa Foundation, Friedrich Ebert Foundation, and Foundation for European Progressive Studies FEPS.

The event is free of charge, but for catering purposes we ask you to sign up here. The event is in English with translation into Finnish in the morning sessions.

"Ten years of Brexit: the metamorphosis of Euroscepticism". This article from La Razón mentions FEPS policy brief "Countering the far right in the European Parliament", which examines the growing normalisation of far-right parties within the EP and analyses how their strategy has shifted from rejecting the EU to reshaping it from within.

Encouraged by the rejection of the labor law, European progressives gathered in Porto acknowledge that Social Europe has a safe haven in Portugal.
