📖 Screening and political debate

The session features the screening of the documentary Setge a la democràcia (Belgium, Luxembourg, USA, 2024), directed by Laura Nix. The film examines the legal vulnerabilities originating in the US Constitution that challenge the country's status as a fully functioning democracy.

The viewing will be followed by a debate analyzing the political landscape following midterm elections, authoritarian trends, and deep systemic challenges, ranging from national debt and migration policies to foreign conflicts and shifting global power dynamics.
