European Parliament President Martin Schulzâs departure is a game changer for EU institutional dynamics. The fight for the institutionâs highest-profile job is now on, and each political group has designated their candidates. In the fray: 4 Italians, 2 Belgians and one Brit. With Europe mired in Brexit, a migration crisis, austerity measures and incoming national elections, MEPs must decide which candidate has the vision, political will and agility to overcome rising Euroscepticism, to guide Europeans through these considerable challenges. One week before the January 17 plenary vote decides the next President, POLITICOâs European Parliament Presidential debate will give you the opportunity to hear from the contenders on how they view the role of President; their top priorities of the new Presidency and how they plan to tackle Europeâs most pressing issues.
