The Middle Class at a Crossroads
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: June 12, 2019, 19:00 – 21:00
Presentation and debate centred on an exclusive sociological study carried out by the TOPAZ think tank with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies.
The results of the research may help explain the results of the recent elections to the European Parliament and suggest ways that European issues can be better communicated in the Czech Republic. The study was focused on the middle class – specifically on how it influenced May’s vote and whether it is at all possible to speak about the middle class as a homogenous social group. The presentation will also offer a breakdown of the middle class into individual segments.
Speakers: Tomáš Dvořák, political sociologist, Jakub Charvát, political scientist and electoral marketing expert; MP Markéta Pekarová Adamová; Eoin Drea, senior research officer at the Martens Centre; and Jaroslav Poláček, an analyst with TOPAZ.
The debate will be chaired by Petr Honzejk, a journalist and commentator with Hospodářské noviny.
Organised by the Václav Havel Library in cooperation with TOPAZ.
