Luxembourg Centre for European Law (LCEL) - University of Luxembourg

At the invitation of Professor Katalin Ligeti, Dean of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) at the University of Luxembourg, and in close cooperation with Professor Pierre-Henri Conac, Acting Director of the Luxembourg Centre for European Law (LCEL) - University of Luxembourg, Professor Marlene Wind, PhD, Director of the Centre for European Politics at the University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet), delivered an inspiring presentation to a full auditorium on the democratic backsliding in some Member States and how the European Court of Justice should react to this development.    During her presentation, Professor Wind also responded to the scholarly critics of constitutionalism, while Lars Bay Larsen, Vice-President of the Court of Justice of the European Union, shared his insights on how the Court applies Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union regarding the Union’s core values. The presentation was followed by an engaging Q&A session and a lively debate moderated by Professor Conac.    Thank you, Professor Wind, for your participation and insightful presentation!

Such a pleasure to give a talk to a full auditorium together with the vice president of the Europæiske Unions Domstol Lars Bay Larsen at the Luxembourg Centre for European Law (LCEL) - University of Luxembourg My talk was on the paradoxical parallel development we are currently facing of democratic backsliding in the EU and more and more scholarly critique of constitutionalism - urging to take back power from the legal to the political branch. And also on how the Europæiske Unions Domstol simultaneously is pushed to define art2 values like democracy and judicial independence by the many backsliding cases that ends up at its doorstep. Thanks to Pierre-Henri Conac for great moderation and to and to Lars a wonderful debate.
