Italy. Europe. The age of nationalism?
Sunday 28 October 2018, 12:00
Coronet Theatre, Auditorium
Is there a way to fight the resurgence of nationalism? The second day of our festival starts with a panel discussion about politics in Italy, in Europe, and the dark force that seems to increasingly connect them. After managing to become Italy’s main political player, the Lega seems to be the new driving force for Europe’s nativist parties. All eyes are now set on the next European Elections, when, while the EU will still be rebounding from the Brexit divorce, nationalist movements will try and seize the European Parliament.
This event will be in English.
Running time: 80 minutes.
