This Thursday 20 February, we had the privilege of discovering the inner workings of the European Parliament in Brussels during an enriching visit alongside Olivier Chastel, MEP and member of the Renew Europe group. A morning full of exchanges, together with Aurélie Czekalski and Amélie Pans, Members of the Brussels Parliament.
For the Brussels MPs: “It is important to build bridges between parliamentary assemblies. Close cooperation is needed so that European regulations best serve the people of Brussels and improve their daily lives.”
Olivier Chastel gave us a captivating presentation on how the European institutions work, clearly explaining complex issues such as the EU budget, the balance of power and the challenges facing the Union.
The Q&A session was particularly lively, covering topical issues such as the Green Deal, the energy transition, European security and defence, and the impact of European decisions on our respective regions.
The highlight of the visit: immersion in the Parliament's chamber, the true beating heart of European democracy. A powerful moment that helped us better understand the issues at stake at this level.
This visit was an opportunity to grasp the importance of the European Parliament's role and the impact of European decisions on our daily lives.
