March 7, Brussels: The battle for Europe’s future starts now – Yanis Varoufakis, Katie Halper, Grace Blakeley, and Melanie Schweizer

Four influential and uncompromising voices in politics, media, and activism – Yanis Varoufakis, Katie Halper, Grace Blakeley, and Melanie Schweizer – will take the stage at the National Theater of Brussels to deliver a powerful message about Europe’s future. This landmark event, “WTF Happened to Europe? How We Lost It and What We Must Do”, will not only expose the continent’s political and economic failures but also demand a radical transformation towards a Europe that seizes back its sovereignty, dismantles elite rule, and reinvents itself as a force for real justice and liberation.

This event is not just another discussion; it’s a rallying cry. Featuring uncompromising voices from across politics, activism, and the arts, we will expose the EU’s darkest truths and lay out a vision for a Europe that serves its people, fosters peace, and promotes cooperation for the common good.
