- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: October 17, 2016, 16:00 – 18:00
Today’s world demands quick solutions. Across Europe populists are coming to power. They like to present themselves as the defenders of the values that underpin Western civilisation. Their influence sometimes exceeds that of those politicians who are developing the legacy of the founders of the EU and refuse to take the populist route. What chance do politics based on values have today? Come along and ask current and former senior politicians from the CR, Germany and Slovakia.
Guests: Pavel Bělobrádek, deputy prime minister of the CR, Pavel Svoboda, MEP, Iveta Radičová, socialist and former prime minister of Slovakia, Georg Milbradt, economist and former prime minister of Bavaria, and Jan Sokol, philosopher and teacher.

Organised within the Festival of Democracy at Forum 2000 by the Václav Havel Library and the Institute for Christian-Democratic Politics, in cooperation with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung.
