ABOUT THE DISCUSSION

As a political and economic union, the EU currently represents 28 member
states and approximately 513 million people. Beginning on Thursday, May 23
and through May 26, the citizens of the EU member states will elect their
parliamentary representatives for the ninth time. Several parties are vying
for votes, including the large European People’s Party of outgoing President
Jean-Claude Juncker, which is once again nominating a Spitzenkandidat or
lead candidate: German politician Manfred Weber who wants to become Juncker’s
successor.
While the EU has brought many advantages to individual member states, some
national governments have voiced skepticism and fear that the EU has grown
too big, too complicated, and too influential.
Will the EU be able to overcome its internal controversies (e.g., Brexit)?
How will a possible increase of populist representatives change the
political landscape? How will the relationship with the United States
evolve? What role will Germany play in Europe and in the transatlantic
debate?
