SUMMARY:Snap Elections\, the Democratic Return to the Vote of the European Citizens
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, the Romanian AUR Delegation of the ECR Group will host the international conference “Snap Elections: The Democratic Return to the Vote of the European Citizens”. \nDuring a the debate\, ECR MEPs Adrian Axinia\, Georgiana Teodorescu and Gheorghe Piperea will bring together academics\, policymakers\, leading experts on constitutional laws in Member States\, and journalists to debate along with other fellow Members of the European Parliament what happens when a political establishment becomes isolated by elitism\, detached from everyday realities of its citizens\, and stagnant in its vision. When is the regular electoral cycle no longer a sufficient safeguard? Political mandates are neither permanent nor unconditional. Once governance fails\, the ultimate authority must instantly go back to the people. The vote remains the unique undeniable instrument of citizen sovereignty.  \nWhen: Wednesday \nWhere: Spaak 1A2
