Was honoured to be invited by FEPS to give an online speech to the FEPS ANNUAL AUTUMN CONFERENCE as part of the #FightersForDemocracy project. Was truly honoured and humbled to be placed to speak alongside former President of the European Parliament, former Vice President of the European Commission and the former Prime Minster of Greece. The conference took place in a hybrid format over 3 days (11th – 14th October 2021). I was asked to speak about past and current challenges and actions to take moving forward for the deepening of Democracy.
