and join us virtually.
Throughout this virtual event our speakers will explore various discussion points, including:
- The Netherlands boasts an impressive 80% trust rating in its judiciary and police among survey respondents. How was such a high level of credibility achieved?
- Our country has an ongoing debate about the extent to which judges should engage with the media. Do you believe judges should publicly explain their rulings?
- Slovakia has both a special prosecutor and a specialized court dedicated to handling severe crimes. Yet, these institutions are currently under scrutiny for potential political manipulation. How can we establish law enforcement agencies that project true independence?
- The Dutch parliament also enjoys considerable trust, even though this trust also shows a slight decline. As we approach elections, concerns about result manipulation have surfaced. How can a system be structured to safeguard the democratic foundation of the state despite changing governing parties?
- Populism is a pervasive global challenge across the political spectrum. How is the Netherlands effectively countering this phenomenon?
