Explore a panel discussion on the challenges facing European values, identity, and politics in 2019. Delve into topics such as Brexit, populism, and the migration crisis, examining their impact on borders and social integration across the continent. Gain insights from experts as they debate the perceived threats to Europe's liberal democratic values and identity.
