- The 2024 Maastricht Debate was the political moment of the spring for European voters. We put eight candidates in line to lead Europe onstage to answer your questions - to help voters decide how to cast their ballot.
Each contender for the office of chief policymaker of the European Union represented their own political party on the podium in Maastricht, the birthplace of the 1992 Maastricht Treaty that established the European Union. Candidates answered questions from our expert moderators on the themes chosen by European youth.

We were live on April 29 at 7:00 p.m. CET for the third edition of the Maastricht debate.
Brought to you by Studio Europa Maastricht & POLITICO.
The Maastricht Debate is supported by Maastricht University, Province of Limburg, City of Maastricht and the European Parliament.
EBU’s Eurovision News Exchange distributed the feed of the Maastricht Debate live to its public service media network of members.

Why has this Not been broadcasted in Public Television of the Europe Union member Staates?! Old ones will Not search the Internet and watch this. Thats a real pity.
Because they dont want anyone to see it duh lol
@@danieldinicola4605 because no one is interested and national tv channel do not want to pay the rights to broadcast it because they dont gain enough money from it....... probably
Eurovision songfestival was mutch interesting😂😂😂😂
They want just the money from the Eu taxpayers.Wolves.
It is written at the Maastricht Debate website, that "EBU’s Eurovision News Exchange will distribute the feed of the Maastricht Debate live to its public service media network of members." The way i read it - public televisions got the signal. But chose not to broadcast it.
Now, the EBU will have their own debate that (hopefully) will be broadcast live by all members in the EU... Still - a 4 European parties were not invited, and time selected for the debate is 15:00 (a dead time for the television)
It'd really have helped if the stands the candidates stood behind had their parties and names on it instead of STUDIO EUROPA maastricht and POLITICO.

24 hours after the debate only 26 000 people across Europe watched it (at least in part). That is the real state of how much society gives a shit about people operating within the European Commission. They are still treated largely as a no-name technocrats, and the elections are run mostly on domestic issues.
i mean there was little to no advertisement of this and i dont even think it was broadcasted on national TVs, so what could they expect?
There was just no promotion about the event. Even here in Germany, while having a couple Germans on stage no big new outlet put it on the front page. Stuff like this should be prime time TV on the state owned/supported channels.
@@KZ-tk3if With or without advertisement, I think European politics just get little attention in general. It's less relatable, because even though we share issues, these things are still very personal and different depending on region etc.
@@BilboBaggins236I think we don’t know about it because they know that broadcasting these events would only make Europeans dislike more Europe, because we need to be treated as different, because that’s what we are. The EU is not sustainable
@@alexandraalmeida7700 That's what many have been saying for decades. Still waiting for it to be proven true
This should've been named "Questions time with Ursula"
I'm not a big fan of hers but she is the only candidate that looks and sounds presidential. Can you imagine any of the other candidates on the negotiating table with Biden/Trump, Putin, Xi and Modi?

@@birodaniel How much has you encouraged people to visit and see the debate?
C'est dommage que ce débat n'ait pas été diffusé sur des médias nationaux comme TF1 ou France 2 car on ne les entend pas beaucoup sur les chaines nationales, on n'entends que les candidats nationaux.
Ils seraient incapables de s'exprimer en français tout le débat...
@@minedofus Pas besoin qu'ils parlent en français leurs propos peuvent être traduits par des interprètes comme ça se fait au parlement européen. On peut écouter en français un eurodéputé qui parle tchèque ou finlandais.
It’s a part of the game i think…
@@Dubbele-dubbele Yes but in the end we don't know the opinion of the group leader and we don't know if they have the same opinion or if there is some differences between them
English?
Things for the next debate, remove the adds you guys have enough money, and add names+party by the person who is talking would make for a person who doesn’t follow European politics much easier

and give more than 45 seconds per speech. What can you deliver in 45 seconds?! Poor organisation, really.
Wow, the Dutch green & progressive wins the poll hosted before an audience of Dutch students; how surprising!
Regardless of the preformance of candidates, it really doesn't take a lot of skill to predict who was going to win such a poll.
Even less surprising because most of the time these 'students' are only university students xd
Well it’s somewhat surprising if you look at the last Dutch elections where there was an alt right win
@@LeDraaier Yeah, but with that it is important to consider the fact that the average PVV voter is usually old(er) and/or lower educated. GroenLinks-PvdA however did very well among students.
It more so shows how different demographic groups vote differently, rather than political trends.
Maastricht students are the most international, actually
Well the students see that this (Green) is the best way for the future. They have that right.... do they not?
how is it possible that i find out about this only two weeks later?! This needs to be broadcasted everywhere in Europe. Are there any other debates in the next weeks? Please do better at marketing and publicity.

Having this debate is great and all but the themes chosen are really not the most important. We need to talk about demographics/migration, economic growth/energy independence, developing our own military industrial complex so that we can stand on our own.
Ditto
Exactly, every aspects you're mentioned are highly relevant to our modern society and political structures. We just need some positive advancement to enhance current development process.

Ursula Vanderleyden speaks about democracy and unity, and how "they" will build on their last five years. Her record speaks louder however, and clearly demonstrate the authoritarian rule of the the EU under her leadership. She supports the war with Russia and speaks of more licencing to deal with the distribution of agricultural produce. NATO and the EU are doubling down on their stance on rejecting a diplomatic settlement with Russia. More regulation is how they deal with the problems they have created with their climate policies. Only Anders Vistisen had the courage to speak up against the autocracy of the current EU and its failed policies on security, climate, and immigration. Most candidates continue to pander to the younger voters who have been indoctrinated by the climate change cultists and and lack the courage to speak the truth about climate change.
Why is the ECR party not there?
To mě nejvíce štve. ECR a ID jsou jediné volitelné subjekty, narozdíl od bláznů ze Zelených, Renew a podobných odpadišť.

What I find strange is that everyone has a mouth full of energy independence from Russia and renewable energy. I have not heard one mention of nuclear energy, which is the best way to get low-carbon and cheap energy.
Hi would you like the radioactive waste dumped behind YOUR HOUSE?
@@HernandogreensOrg better than coal waste in my lungs thanks to german ecological policies🥰
Because the money now is on the renewable. Don't be naive, you still think these guys care about actual things?
I guess that's because of the audience, nuclear is still considered as evil by the woke, although I guess it's starting to change.

Europe most not promoting injustice. let value of democracy and equality , education be the first.
It must be broadcasted on national TV to a good time.
1:07:00 we need to be careful: if majority of EU states elect extremists then the last democratic EU member state won't be able to stop the derailment of EU; not sure what one state could do in that case, though it'll resist

It would have been interesting if Volt had been there too

Debate is of less duration & covered only 3 topics.(ex: Climate, Foreign policy & Threats)
It can be seen overall that 3 parties debated on situation based instead taking rigid stance on the horseshoe arc - 1. Christian Party (ECPM), 2. Peoples Party (EPP) and 3. Renew Party (ALDE). The rest seems aligned strictly towards Greener ways or extremism. A gatekeeper cannot act according to his duty when the building is on demolition, he has way more responsibility given this situation 🇪🇺
Volume is low. I had to crank up my earphones volume to the max.

Why is ECR Party not here?
MONTEVIDEO URUGUAY
you are correct the ECR Party was not represented, i believe that probably was their own fault or will. at least ECPM was there which sits together with the ECR Party in the EU parliament to form the ECR fraction

Key Question is : Is the EU a " past Economic Organisation" ??
What do you mean?
JAVIER MILEI LILIA LEMOINE
Von der Leyen:"..to share my Vision for Europe..." she hasn't been elected she was installed in this position years ago, so how democratic is this?
My vote for Roßberg!!! From Gipuzkua!
OUTSTANDING how this girl is nodding like she said something terribly smart 1:37:16
EU as a whole and the representatives in the panel should learn the distinction between "EU citizens in e.g. Sweden" and "christians/jews in e.g. Sweden" - the difference is that the first is acceptable and treats thoughts/opinions as private right while the second is an unacceptable labeling that deserves ridicule and not compassion.
It's sickening that a person living in one of EU member states doesn't have the feeling and is represented as EU citizen first, national of a certain member state second and far down the importance list where he/she/it was born, where the ancestors came from and what labels the person has the fetish of associating with.
If you live in Germany, you're a German and should live as such or if you can't stop preferring and over glorifying your roots leave as such.
55:00 is the right question and the only question that really matters and exposes the hypocrites within Europe. Wake up before its too late.
Just thinking what if indian politicians did this type of debates...😂😂😂
We have to discuss more on social issues! Europe gets everwhere extreme expensive.
There is no such things as a climate crisis
Q from the panel leaders: what are you going to do to meet the climate goals? So, not, there seem to be some issues w current climate policies. What direction should the EU go? They look upon climate measures as a given. To say that is narrowminded does not come close to reality..
Succes Marcia
The EU, the beacon of democracy and hope in the world.
Your a fool the eu is dystopian shit hole it's turning into Africa and the middle east we are done with this crap the tower is coming down
Maylis is such an impressive woman. I really hope she become a great role in the European Parliament!
They should have done it like in the US. How come that I as an EU citizen know more about the US candidates and elections than I know about the EU ones? It is not like I have no interest in politics, but simply the issue that these candidates and the whole program has no interesting profile. And another issue was how this program was organized! 30 seconds speaking time and each candidate has 1 minute introduction time, and the introduction happens in the middle of the debate. Topics are thrown into it and answers are too abstract. This was pure chaos to watch.
Not many will truly care beyond the noise or bubbles 😢
JAVIER MILEI LILIA LEMOINE
Really troubling how poorly run the democratic process in the EU commission is; most citizens don’t know how the electoral process work, who the lead candidates are, and nobody saw this debate. We need to do a lot better 👎🏻
One ad every two seconds really triggers me 😂
That is a real politics and debates! ❤❤❤❤❤
One point can be easily made. The level of english is appallingly bad. Don't these people get a decent english course, especially on fluency?
There is one english speaking country in the EU. Not the most important issue.
The worst English speaker by far was Strack-Zimmermann.
I hope Europe will survive the EU

Interesting, accusing being influenced by China and Russia without zero proof and the audience is clapping enthusiastically. This has some similarities to modern TV broadcasting shows when applause gets perfectly timed.

Europa nicht den Leyen überlassen! Smiley
European MEPs: Why has energy sector, which was built purely with taxpayers' money, i.e. hydropower and nuclear power, been run down and transferred to the hands of big capital, like the wood processing industry. Which do not need energy BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE THEMSELVES energy in excess of their own use.
Both P.., V... and K.. sell electricity to their owners at cost price. The actual cost price is 0.5 - 1.0 cents per kWh. These companies and all counterpower and district heating companies that also produce electricity get district heating on top of the sale. Only a heat exchanger is needed instead of a condenser.
In addition, it is clear when you compare the power (MW) in relation to the output (TWh) that you notice that, for example, V.. runs at 40% short load.
This is a fact. It would not be worthwhile to try to deceive those who understand the field.
Why would nature be of interest to MEP S when they are not interested in the most important thing, i.e. money? None of the future MEPs participating in the European elections are interested in the fact that European workers bear the majority of the tax burden, i.e. 7,000 billion euros?
Why don't the players in the derivatives trade (with a volume of 452,900 billion euros) pay enough tax on the 6% average profit they receive? The tax collection (1.9%) would generate a whopping 8,000 billion euros.
Why don't those who already have all of our money and capital want to participate in society's obligations?
Before, at the beginning of the 20th century, when the industry was being built, the factory owners built the apartments, hospitals, schools and pensions THEMSELVES with their own money, although even that money was collected thanks to the employees.
Doesn't the truth no longer apply that what is not right or reasonable cannot be law?

Yes! Great Maastricht and Politico are not able to make a proper map (minute 6:14) to show that Romania 🇷🇴 votes, but not Turkey, Istanbul. Turks don’t belong to Europe, but Constantinople belongs to Europe. Romanians won their independence from the Turks in 1878.
4:20 wow, they found the one VOLT voter
Haha that's actually someone I know!
What is VOLT?
Found it on Wikpedia listed under: "European political parties not recognised by the EU".
@ Its a far left party in a couple eu countries
@ Progressive & pan-european (their goal is a federal European state). It's honestly the best party simply for the fact that they don't use the sports mentality left-right approach but always the most rational one. E. g. they are in favour of small nuclear reactors (SMRs), Anti-Russia, Pro-Digitalization etc.
The election of the president of commission should be a direct election like those in the U.S.
Agreed!
At least it should depend mainly on the election result and not be decided by the member states' governments.
it would make no sense since most of the Europeans dont really give a damn about EU political structure, and dont even know the names of the main political parties. election turnout would have been disastrous.
We are not americans we are european we need a strong parlament and insted of direc voting the president .
we must do two things in the European elections: show European and not national parties in the election and secondly be able to choose the favorite candidate of the group that voted .this way we will remain more distant from American two-party politics
@@lorydexc.c.9739
But what if parliament and council can't agree on a candidate? Then it would be convenient to have a definitive ruling by the public.
And I doubt you could expect the council to concede basically all it's legislative power to the parliament.
we all know these are not the main subjects europeans will vote on, it's insane that migration is not one of them, let alone defense and sovereignity.
The EU(SSR) is implementing the devilish and dastardly Coudenhove-Kalergi plan to eradicate the European people and replace them with an Afro-Asian one ready to work for the proverbial bowl of rice for its capitalists and at the same time destroy the European workers and everything they had obtained through great fights and sacrifices.
Go vote for your party in the EP election and then write EXIT together with your country's name.
Example, MALTEXIT, ITALEXIT, DANEXIT, FREXIT etc to send the message that the real European people want the EU(SSR) American puppet scrapped and sent to the dustbin of history where it rightly belongs.
You didn't watch the debate.
They DID speak about immigration and defense. Try to get through the whole thing before making a comment.LOL

It is strange that english is the official language of EU...
Agreed!
Not strange at all. It is easy to learn, already spoken by many educated europeans in all countries of the EU and it connects us with our main strategic partners.
You can't expect anyone to learn French or German I think
It isn't. English is one of three working languages in the EU, alongside French and German.
The EU has 24 official languages. What is strange in official langauge of Ireland and Malta?

the climate change projects its so unrealistic to become so big as the first prior while INDIA, CHINA, at least these countries have like double the size of the problem and really they are playing the biggest role for this issue. so i believe this topic have to be more on foreign policies than for the native people of europe. im starting to believe they use that content for inner consumption. ofc its an issue but not in Europe only to become so major to begin with
Vistisen still equating anti-semitism to anti-zionism. Pathetic.
I'm not going to vote for any of them. None of them are helping Ukraine sufficiently.
What a shame that such an important debate has such low visibility and audience. This should have been broadcasted in the biggest TV channels in Europe, and here we are seeing it on TH-cam on a (important yet) niche forum which only the bubble somewhat cares. Besides, seems the EP comms team is still lacking ambition with a campaign title "Use your vote".🥲
Couldn't agree more! Europa is very democratic IF people vote... And media coverage is everything nowadays. Average cat video: 1 million views. Debate about the future of Europe: 27k views.
14:35 Anders Vistisen
That was dull.
all pure rubish... no candidate in that stage deserves my vote, and the debate format itself was poor, as it lack depth about the solutions proposed by the candidates, it lacked focus on very important topics, such as Pension squemes, financial solutions to current issues that affect the youth of Europe, and a great amount of time was just wasted on throwing dirty sucks at each other, saying empty phrases with little to know meaning and only showing how uninformed young people really are about the EU and politics in general.
Bas Eickhout klingt wie ein gescheiterter Toptransfer vom VfL Wolfsburg
Aber ich freue mich über das Format! Ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung! :)

It's certainly better than ID. Not a fan of their ideology but atleast they aren't blocking everything by default
@@ahsokaincognito Do not forget that ID is a pro-Russian group of populists. ECR has a clear program for their actions in the parliament, and it is really inspiring
They're kinda hard to pin down. Some of their member parties are portrayed as even more extreme than ID.
I do hope that they will consolidate themselves as "conservative" part of the grand coalition in the European Parliament.
1:31:23 applause anyone? The guy has a point... My point is: if we stop listening to one another we might miss a few important things. The students in the audience are too entrenched.
Well because the policy of the ID contradicts what he is saying. Voting against EU punishment of rule of law abuses, against the EU overruling autocratic regimes, voting against EU sanctions on autocratic regimes. He does not have a solution, in fact he works against a solution, but in his populist malaise he spits out a sentence of sense, only because of the haze he finds himself in.
Guy on 15:00 is fire! 🔥
Please vote Volt. This is the party with the best program for climate protection and reform of the EU.
Climate is not an issue in europe
I really like this debate
I like most of the candidates except for Vistisen and a few things of Von Der Leyen.
If any of the others win I'll be happy. If Von Der Leyen wins it'll be alright for me.
This said, I'll vote for Baier. I really like how he expresses his ideas.
Why? She has made EU less bussiness friendly and poorer.
