SUMMARY:42nd Carpathian Europe Forum. The Carpathians – Mountains That Connect
DESCRIPTION:The ECR Group – Polish Delegation is co organising the 42nd Carpathian Europe Forum. \nThe Carpathians connect countries and communities whose future depends on the ability to cooperate across borders. They are a shared heritage\, but also a space for development\, the exchange of experiences and the search for answers to challenges important to the whole of Central Europe. \nThe 42nd Europe of the Carpathians will be held in Karpacz from 8 to 10 September 2026.  \nRepresentatives of public institutions\, academia\, local governments\, social organizations and the business community will discuss topics such as security\, infrastructure\, education\, healthcare\, regional cooperation\, and the sustainable development of Carpathian communities. \nThe Forum will also provide an opportunity to reflect on Europe’s changing geopolitical environment and the role of Central Europe in shaping the future of the European Union. Discussions will address the protection of freedom and democratic values\, the future of the EU budget\, the security and resilience of the Carpathian region\, and Europe’s place in a changing world. \nMembers of the ECR Group in the European Parliament will contribute to several key discussions during the Forum: \nTuesday\, 8 September \n14:20–15:20 | Freedom and the People of Freedom in the European Union \nPanellist: Jadwiga Wiśniewska\, MEP \n15:30–16:30 I Polish-Hungarian Forum for the Carpathian Europe: Together on the Future of the European Union  \nPanellist: Daniel Obajtek\, MEP \nWednesday\, 9 September \n11:10–12:10 I The Carpathians in Europe’s New Security Architecture – The Role of the European Union \nPanellist: Daniel Obajtek\, MEP \n12:20–13:20 | A Central European Perspective on the Future of Europe.

SUMMARY:Russia as a false defender of traditional values
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, ECR MEPs Mariusz Kaminski and Rihards Kols will host a conference examining Russia’s claim to be a global defender of “traditional values”. \nThe discussion will challenge this narrative as a deliberate instrument of Kremlin influence\, exploring how Moscow has replaced Soviet-era communist ideology with rhetoric centred on patriotism\, religion\, and traditional values in an effort to weaken the West\, exploit its internal divisions\, and expand Russian influence. Speakers will also examine the stark contradiction between Russia’s self-proclaimed defence of Christian and conservative values and its repression at home\, instrumentalisation of religion\, and aggressive and opportunistic foreign policy abroad. \nWhen: Wednesday @ 13:00 \nWhere: SPINELLI 1H1 \nSpeakers: \nModerator: Tomasz Szatkowski\, Former Ambassador of Poland to NATO \n\n Alexandr Vondra MEP\, Former member of the anti-communist opposition\, former Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic\nKateryna Nastoiashcha\, Institute for National Resilience and Security\nMaciej Materka\, Brig. Gen. (Res.)\, former head of Poland’s military counterintelligence service\, Frontline Foundation\nStanislaw Zaryn\, National Security Institute Foundation\nAndis Kudors\, Lecturer at the University of Latvia\nAvital Sahar\, Cognitive Warfare & OSINT Expert\nBatu Kutelia\, Former head of Georgia’s foreign intelligence and Ambassador of Georgia to the US\nLech Wojciechowski\, Former deputy head of Poland’s internal security agency\, Frontline Foundation\nPeter Doran\, Foundation for Defence of Democracies\, former president of the center for European policy analysis (CEPA)\nSergei Chapnin\, Author of the report Faith under Pressure \n\nInterpretation will be available in English\, Polish and Ukrainian.
