On International Human Rights Day 2021, the International Working Group of D66 organised a series of three key note speeches followed by a panel discussion to discuss how Enfranchising EU Citizens and internalising their perspectives and interests can support making national democracies in Europe more international and inclusive. The debate focuses on the plans of D66 to extend full voting rights to EU citizens living in the Netherlands.

Keynote speeches by: Sophie In’t Veld, MEP D66/Renew, European Parliament; Patrick Bijsmans, Associate Professor European Studies, Maastricht University; and Tony Venables, Founding director ECIT Foundation; are followed by panel discussions moderated by Thomas Peutz, Chair of D66 Delft and the D66 International Working Group.
