Brexit-Referendum: Doomsday for the political and economic fate of Europe? Part 1, Event Opening

Event Opening with Thomas Leeb, BMW-Stiftung and Benjamin Zeeb, CEO, Project for Democratic Union On June 23 the British people will vote on whether the UK will be the first country to ever leave the European Union. The UK’s relations with the institutions of the continent have always been difficult. A Brexit now, however would not merely be another episode in this difficult relationship but has the potential to deliver the fatal blow to a continent already brought to its knees by a series of interlocking crises. Against this backdrop we are pleased to invite you to an event featuring three distinguished speakers. John Peet, political editor at The Economist, Gisela Müller-Brandeck-Boucquet, professor for European Studies and International Relations at the University of Würzburg, and Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the Ifo Center for International Economics and professor for Economics at LMU Munich, will discuss the political and economic ramifications of the referendum and the developments that have led to it. The discussion will be chaired by the PDU’s CEO, Benjamin Zeeb. The Project for Democratic Union will be hosting an event at and together with the BMW Stiftung Herbert Quandt in Munich. The Project for Democratic Union (PDU) is a political think-tank which makes the case for a full political union of the Eurozone. We believe in a boldly democratic, unified Europe with a strong civil society and public sphere. Our activities range from running on- and offline campaigns to organising academic projects and enlisting contributors of all nationalities and professional backgrounds. Managed by a group of dedicated supporters, the PDU is primarily based in Munich and London and is currently engaged in setting up representations in Lisbon, Budapest, Brussels, Athens and elsewhere.
