Eurovision debate between lead candidates for the Commission presidency

Where is the EU going on climate policies? What about migration? And the economy?

Organised by the European Broadcasting Union and hosted by the European Parliament, the Eurovision Debate focuses on decisions that will impact you in the decades to come.

Five candidates for the Commission presidency have confirmed their presence for the debate on 23 May:
- Walter Baier (European Left)
- Sandro Gozi (Renew Europe Now)
- Ursula von der Leyen (European People’s Party)
- Terry Reintke (European Greens)
- Nicolas Schmit (Party of European Socialists)

Two parties, the European Conservatives and Reformists and Identity and Democracy, have not nominated lead candidates for the President of the European Commission and are therefore not eligible to take part in the debate according to the EBU rules.

The debate will be moderated by Martin Řezníček (Czech TV) and Annelies Beck (VRT, Belgium).
Questions will be asked by the audience in the plenary chamber, by viewers watching from events organised by Parliament’s liaison offices in EU countries, submitted via social media, and by the two moderators. Candidates will also face one-on-one questioning by the moderators in so-called Spotlight segments, a new feature in the Eurovision Debate 2024.
