SUMMARY:Webinar: Dr Christina Pagel and Trump Action Tracker
DESCRIPTION:Professor Christina Pagel [UCL]\, previously known as a prominent contributor to Independent SAGE\, initiated in February a project to catalogue and characterise “the actions\, statements\, and plans of President Donald Trump and his administration that may pose a threat to American democracy\, since the start of his second term in January 2025”. \nAs she reported on August 21st\, the total of such recorded acts had by then passed 1000\, with their pace accelerating. They are being classified under five major “domains of authoritarianism”: \nUndermining Democratic Institutions & Rule of Law; Dismantling federal government\nSuppressing Dissent & Controlling Information\nDismantling Social Protections & Rights; Enrichment & Corruption\nAttacking Science\, Environment\, Health\, Arts & Education\nAggressive Foreign Policy & Global Destabilisation; Nationalism \nAn early instalment of the database included a field documenting\, for each Trump action\, “Any organised actions against? (individuals speaking out against does not count)”. After the first few weeks\, just over half the recorded actions had a recorded counter-action. \nProfessor Pagel has accepted the invitation of the Grassroots for Europe Round Table to brief us in an open webinar session on the Trump presidency and its impact in America\, Europe and beyond.

SUMMARY:Leo Varadkar – Speaking My Mind
DESCRIPTION:Newly liberated from the constraints of office\, the iconic Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar joins us to reveal the story of his life in politics with unusual honesty and frankness. \n‘There is so much people know already about my time at the top but almost as much that they don’t. I have the freedom now say things I could not while holding office and I have enough distance to reflect on the mistakes I made as much as what was achieved.’ – Leo Varadkar
