Roundtable: It’s time for self-determination #Time4SD

2014’s General Assembly brought a new format of conference. Each of our three organizations (European Free alliance, Centre Maurits Coppieters and European Free Alliance youth) appointed one speaker to join a debate around the topic of self-determination. Under the title “it’s time for self-determination” the speakers defended their positions on several questions which emanate from the enforcement of the processes of self-determination in different regions.

On one side Roccu Garoby, President of the EFAy and advisor on the Multianual Financial Framework for the Greens-EFA group at the European Parliament will defend EFAY’s position on the issues on stake.  @rgaroby (twitter)
