We are delighted today help publicize it in the first public release of the book. So shes here as a post doc fellow has this new book. Pretty timely. And shes been working on it with her colleagues in europe on those questions. We thought the context of the book would be good to talk about very timely issue now, which is whats going on with brexit. What does it mean, not only for the uk and the e. U. Member states, but also for broader Security Issues, which will start to affect, of course, the u. S. Interests quite intensely. So what well do is i will just briefly introduce the speakers. Youve had an invitation and so on, more about their backgrounds. But just to keep it brief, ive got cornelia to tell us briefly about the book. Then were going to go to two colleagues, the assistant professor here who does work
Sugarcoat our mistake we should at mit but what is good is that the a. N. C. Did at some point to listen to Civil Society and they did a tear to the will of the people and hence the many lives were saved. Or not note were going to shift to our audience whove been waiting here to come in. Here in the 2nd row thank you to mila publica while the state was being looted universities were being chronically underfunded and in 2015 in 2016 the fees must for movement shook the country and put this on the National Agenda many of us suffered injuries from Police Brutality at the time in fact some students were killed Benjamin Petilla was killed at u. T. By police how do you as an activist reconcile that the policing in south africa right now by the a. N. C. Is reminiscent of the policing and apartheid that you yourself were a victim of as an activist at the time thank you.

I really doubt this is motivated by to improve the legislation not a bit of it, but to filibuster it. An undemocratic cabal in downing street aligned with an undemocratic and unelected house to override the democratic will of this house expressed in the bill that we have just given a third reading too. If they cant win the argument, they try to shut down debate. We have the Prime Minister deciding to Prorogue Parliament in august, and today he wants to dissolve parliament to shut down scrutiny.
