On 29 April, ALDE Party lead candidate Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann will represent the Renew Europe Now platform in the 2024 Maastricht Debate.

Hosted by POLITICO and Studio Europa Maastricht, the debate is one of the major events of the political season in the run-up to the 2024 European elections taking place on 6-9 June.

Lead candidates from European political parties will take the stage to discuss the future of Europe divided into three key topics: climate change, foreign and security policy and EU democracy.

Strack-Zimmermann, who was elected as ALDE Party’s lead candidate for the European elections at an Extraordinary Congress in March, will supply the liberal take on questions posed by moderators and the audience.
